2. Dietary precautions after abortion

(1) Protein is an important component of antibodies. If it is not consumed enough, the body's resistance will be reduced. Within half a month after artificial abortion, 1.5 grams to 2 grams of protein should be given per kilogram of body weight, and the daily amount is about 100 grams to 150 grams. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

(2) After an abortion, the body is weak and prone to sweating. Therefore, water should be replenished in small amounts and multiple times to reduce water evaporation; more water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2, so you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is also helpful in preventing constipation.

(3) On the basis of a normal diet, appropriately limit fat. Within one week after surgery, fat should be controlled at around 80 grams per day. People with menstrual disorders should avoid eating irritating foods, such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc. These foods can stimulate congestion of the sexual organs and increase menstrual volume. They should also avoid eating cold foods such as crabs, snails, and clams.
