Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Why does milk production occur after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
This is normal. After an induced abortion, breast tenderness and lactation may occur: These symptoms arise because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted, causing a sharp drop in hormone levels in the body, which abruptly halts the growth of newly developed breasts, leading to breast lumps, breast pain, and lactation. This condition typically resolves on its own within about 2 weeks. Since the uterus is damaged after an induced abortion, consuming cold or spicy foods can slow down the recovery process of the uterus and may even have an adverse effect. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid ice and spicy foods for at least one month.
