What should I eat after having an abortion?

In the short period of time after an abortion, the body needs to rest for a while, so you should pay attention to your diet during this period. It should mainly focus on nourishing foods. Try not to eat foods that are too sweet, too hot, or too salty. This will cause some harm to the body and will be unhealthy. In the short period of time after an abortion, you can eat more of these foods for nourishment.

Artificial abortion is a remedial measure after contraceptive failure. Currently, most abortion surgeries use negative pressure suction to suck the embryo out of the uterine cavity. Although this negative pressure suction method is relatively safe and reliable, it sometimes causes some discomfort or sequelae, which is medically known as "post-abortion syndrome." These syndromes do not necessarily require drug treatment. Choosing appropriate food regimen can also help the body recover.

1. Diet therapy for abortion stress syndrome. Some early pregnant women, during the process of abortion, uterine dilation, vacuum aspiration, or curettage, may experience obvious nerve excitation reflexes due to excessive tension or excessive local stimulation, which may cause coronary artery spasm, weakened myocardial contractility, reduced cardiac output, or heart rhythm disorders. After an abortion, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, pale complexion, profuse sweating, cold limbs, low blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat may occur. In severe cases, fainting and convulsions may even occur.

Early pregnant women who are weak, timid, or allergic can drink a bowl of longan soup before having an abortion. The method is as follows: add 9g of longan meat to 2 bowls of water, boil it into 1 bowl, add 2 spoons of sugar and boil it again, drink the soup and eat the longan meat while it is warm. Drinking a bowl of longan soup one hour before an abortion can nourish qi and blood, calm the mind, and prevent the occurrence of abortion stress syndrome. If abortion tension syndrome occurs after the operation, you can cook onion porridge. That is, cook the porridge with glutinous rice fire, add a few stalks of onion when it is almost cooked, add seasonings and eat it while hot. It can promote yang and regulate qi, and quickly relieve symptoms.
