How to deal with chest pain after abortion

Many young women do not take proper contraceptive measures and when they find themselves unexpectedly pregnant, they think about having an abortion. However, after the abortion, they found that their breasts hurt severely. They don’t know whether the chest pain after the abortion will have any impact on the body? Are there any solutions? Let the experts in obstetrics and gynecology explain to everyone how to care after an abortion? I hope that after reading the following content, everyone will have a certain understanding of this issue.

Q: I am not ready to have a baby, so I had an abortion. On the third day after the operation, I had breast pain and milk leakage. I don’t know how to deal with it or how to take care of my health.

A: There is no need to worry, this kind of breast pain is normal. Many women experience this condition after an abortion. There is swelling and pain, and even a lump can be felt. This is because breast pain after abortion is caused by the sudden interruption of pregnancy, which causes the hormone level in the female body to drop sharply, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, resulting in pain. As hormone levels in the body gradually return to normal, the pain will disappear. The milk will disappear after a while, so remember to clean it at any time every day, and you can use hot compresses and warm water to rinse.

Dietary principles after abortion

After an artificial abortion, it is still necessary to make reasonable arrangements for the quantity, quality and mutual combination of various foods to meet the body's needs for protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, inorganic salts, water and cellulose. In order to promote recovery after artificial abortion, dietary adjustments should focus on the following points:

(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 an artificial abortion, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be given per kilogram of body weight, and the daily amount is about 100 to 150 grams. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

(2) After an artificial 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 also helps prevent 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.

How to nourish after artificial abortion

After miscarriage, attention should be paid to dietary nourishment, which has a great impact on women's physical health. Because miscarriage causes certain damage to the body and causes the loss of a certain amount of blood, coupled with the psychological stress and physical pain during the process, the body will be weaker after the miscarriage, and some people may even be prone to anemia. Therefore, proper nourishment is absolutely necessary, and the degree and duration of nourishment should be determined by comprehensive consideration of the abortion patient's physical condition and the amount of blood loss.

First of all, we must ensure the supply of high-quality protein, adequate vitamins and inorganic salts, especially sufficient iron to prevent the occurrence of anemia. Food choices should be both nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. Fresh fish, tender chicken, eggs, animal liver, animal blood, lean meat, soy products, milk, jujube, lotus seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables can be provided. Do not eat or eat less greasy, raw and cold food. Avoid eating radish, hawthorn, bitter melon, orange and other foods that regulate qi, promote blood circulation, and are cold in nature. You should eat more easily digestible food. The best time for nourishing is half a month. For those who are weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the nourishing time can be appropriately extended as appropriate.

It can be seen that chest pain after abortion will not have much impact on the body. Women can rest assured and not feel too burdened. In addition, you need to improve your nutrition in your diet after an abortion. The above article has already told you how to do it specifically. Just follow it.
