Patient's question:
My wife heard from others that if a woman engages in sexual activity before 40 days after an abortion, she is likely to get a condition called "monthly illness." Given that my wife had an abortion and we had sex only 30 days later, could this lead to her getting that illness? If it really could, what should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, postpartum illness refers to diseases caused by external pathogens or internal injuries that women experience within one month after childbirth (including miscarriage), which remain uncured during the postpartum period. It is recommended to use the following ingredients:30g Carthamus tinctorius, 30g Rehmannia glutinosa, 30g Sappan wood, 30g Thalictrum (a plant similar to cock's comb), 30g Schizonepeta, 7 eggs, and 30g brown sugar.
Usage: Boil Carthamus tinctorius, Rehmannia glutinosa, Sappan wood, Thalictrum, and Schizonepeta in water for 20 minutes after it comes to a boil. Then add the eggs (scrambled eggs) and cook them until done. Place brown sugar in a bowl, add the decoction and eggs, and eat the eggs while drinking the soup. Consume one bowl each time, three times a day. Begin taking it on the first day of menstruation.
