What can I eat during the three days of taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant unexpectedly a few weeks ago. After discussing it with my boyfriend, we decided to go to the hospital for medication abortion. I plan to go this weekend. I heard that after the medication abortion, it's like having a small postpartum period. I want to understand first, what can I eat during the three days of medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

For medication-induced abortion, you can resume a normal diet after 3 days, and there is no need to be overly particular. Usually, after the gestational sac is expelled during medication-induced abortion, it's necessary to wait for a while. In the short term, avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods to aid in the recovery of the body after the procedure. After medication-induced abortion, it's important to rest appropriately, enhance nutrition, and consume some warm, high-protein, and high-calorie foods.
