Patient's question:
I feel like my appetite has been very strange recently, wanting something sour. My period hasn't come, and after a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out I'm pregnant. I'm planning to have an abortion. I want to ask what women can eat right after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, there is a loss of qi and blood, and consuming excessively rich, greasy, and extremely cold foods can easily harm the spleen and stomach. It is advisable to eat nutrient-rich foods that are easier to digest. When choosing food, it is important to prioritize both nutrition and easy digestibility. Suitable options include fresh fish, young chicken, eggs, animal liver, animal blood, lean meat, soy products, dairy, jujubes, lotus seeds, fresh fruits, and vegetables.After an induced abortion, rest is essential. Avoid heavy physical labor and working in cold water for at least two weeks to prevent catching a cold. After a miscarriage, pay attention to avoiding cold exposure and drink more brown sugar water. In terms of diet, focus on light and simple meals. Avoid adding ginger, garlic, scallions, or onions when cooking, and also avoid eating onions. Additionally, do not frequently consume excessively greasy foods after an induced abortion, as this can interfere with digestion and lead to abdominal pain.
