What should be paid special attention to after abortion?

Patient's question:

My baby passed away due to umbilical cord presentation and oxygen deprivation at 39 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy (November 8th). After medication, I gave birth successfully on November 11th. Now I'm resting at home. I would like to ask the experts, how long should I wait before considering another pregnancy in my situation? Can sexual activity be resumed after 6 weeks? Also, are there any special precautions I should take? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Sexual activity can be resumed after 6 weeks; it is generally recommended to wait at least 1 year before trying to conceive. You should rest for at least 2 weeks. Avoid heavy physical labor.
1. In terms of diet, avoid raw, cold, or spicy foods, alcohol, and focus on increasing nutrition. Prioritize light, nutrient-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and protein-rich soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
2. Do not have sexual intercourse for one month. There is a risk of infection. Afterward, use contraception to avoid further suffering. Pregnancy should be avoided for at least 6 months.
