Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I had an induced abortion in March this year, and I got pregnant again naturally in October, which resulted in a miscarriage (on November 15th). Could you please advise on how to enhance nutrition and what precautions to take now? How long should the interval be for the next pregnancy? Are there any additional tests I need to undergo?Current General Condition: I had a medical abortion in February last year.
Doctor's answer:
First, prepare about 50 grams of raw Chinese yam, as well as about 100 grams of glutinous rice, and about 30 grams of Eucommia ulmoides and polygonum. Wash all the ingredients clean and set aside. Then, put Eucommia ulmoides and polygonum into the pot, add water, and decoct for a period of time. Discard the herbs and keep only the decoction. Next, add the Chinese yam and glutinous rice into the pot, cook them with the decocted liquid until they become porridge, which can then be consumed. This porridge is most effective when eaten on an empty stomach.After a miscarriage, not only should you pay close attention to your diet, but other aspects must also be taken care of. For example, it is best to rest in bed every day and avoid contact with cold water. Additionally, do not eat cold or irritating foods. It is recommended not to have sexual intercourse within the first three months after a miscarriage.
