Patient's question:
Last month, when my classmate's birthday came around, I drank too much with my boyfriend. Unexpectedly, I got pregnant, but I'm still a student and can't handle having a child. Today, I went to get an abortion. What foods should I avoid after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Whether it is medication-induced abortion or surgical abortion, there are important precautions to take after the procedure. This is to prevent the uterus from failing to recover properly, which may lead to menstrual disorders in the future. In severe cases, it could result in secondary infertility. It is recommended to rest as much as possible, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods, such as chili peppers and pickled vegetables. Abstinence from sexual activity and (bathing in a tub) for one month is advised. Keeping a positive mindset and maintaining good hygiene of the external genital area is also important.
