Patient's question:
A while ago, I got pregnant, but I didn't take good care of myself and ended up having a miscarriage accidentally. So, I want to understand what I should not eat after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, it is important to rest and avoid overexertion to prevent disrupting the body's full recovery. Avoid consuming extremely cold or spicy foods, as well as foods with properties that regulate qi, activate blood circulation, or are cooling in nature, such as radishes, hawthorns, bitter gourds, and oranges. Avoid and limit fat intake while focusing on easily digestible foods. If you can move freely indoors, there is no need for complete bed rest, as it can easily lead to the accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity, making it difficult to expel. Other dietary habits can remain the same as usual. Ensure an adequate supply of high-quality protein, sufficient vitamins, and minerals, especially enough iron to prevent the recurrence of anemia. Also, pay attention to staying warm and avoid catching a cold. For the first month, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and you should not take sit baths. Additionally, allow for proper rest for one to two weeks.
