Patient's question:
Professor Zhang, hello:My wife had an IUD for a month and hasn't had her period. She went for a check-up and was told that the IUD had shifted, causing pregnancy. It's been 20 days now. Is it safer and more stable to handle it with heat treatment? Can it be an abortion with medication? Or should it be surgical abortion? The doctor said it's too small now for medication abortion and suggested waiting for half a month after removing the IUD before proceeding with the abortion. Is this the correct approach? I would like to ask for your advice on how to handle this.
Doctor's answer:
Ensure a supply of high-quality protein, sufficient vitamins, and inorganic salts, especially adequate iron to prevent anemia. Food choices should be both nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. Options include fresh fish, young chicken, eggs, animal liver, animal blood, lean meat, soy products, dairy products, jujubes, lotus seeds, fresh fruits, and vegetables. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of abortion will have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients undergoing abortion should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
