What to eat to recover quickly from spontaneous abortion

During the pregnancy process, miscarriage is the most heartbreaking occurrence. However, there are many factors that lead to miscarriage, some of which are unpreventable, leading to tragedy. Spontaneous abortion has a relatively large impact on women's bodies. Postoperative dietary adjustments can promote the body's recovery, which is an aspect that should be paid attention to. So, what should you eat to recover quickly from a miscarriage? Let’s take a look below.

Dietary adjustments should focus on the following points

1. Within half a month after a miscarriage, 1.5 to 2 grams of protein should be supplied per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, and bean products.

2. Since the body is weak and prone to sweating, it is advisable to replenish water in small amounts and multiple times. A large amount of water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, 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. Also avoid eating cold foods such as crabs, snails, and clams. Some doctors recommend taking 3-5 doses of Shenghua Tang (6 qian of Angelica sinensis, 1.5 qian of Roasted Licorice Root, 4 qian of Chuanxiong, 1 qian of Peach Kernel, 1 qian of Black Ginger, and 2 qian of Eucommia ulmoides).

Here are some recommendations for what to eat after a miscarriage:

1. Soy milk rice porridge: 2 bowls of soy milk, 50 grams of rice, and appropriate amount of white sugar. Wash the rice, cook it with soy milk to make porridge, and add sugar after it is cooked. Take on an empty stomach every morning. It has the effect of harmonizing the spleen and stomach, clearing away heat and moistening dryness. Suitable for recuperation of physical weakness after artificial abortion.

2. Egg and date soup: 2 eggs, 10 red dates, and appropriate amount of brown sugar. Put water in a pot and bring it to a boil, then beat in the eggs and cook them. When the water boils again, add red dates and brown sugar and simmer for 20 minutes. It has the effects of tonifying the middle, replenishing qi and nourishing blood. Suitable for conditioning of anemia and deficiency of Qi and blood after illness and childbirth.

3. Ginseng and Astragalus hen: 1 old hen, 50 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 50 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, 50 grams of Chinese yam, 50 grams of jujube, and appropriate amount of rice wine. Kill a hen, remove its feathers and internal organs, and soak it in rice wine. Place the other four ingredients around the chicken, steam it, and take it in several servings. It has the effect of invigorating qi and nourishing blood. Suitable for conditioning after miscarriage.

4. Carp among fish can promote uterine contraction. Physical trauma is always accompanied by psychological changes. For a long period before and after a miscarriage, women will become self-pitying and neurotic. They may worry about not getting enough care or about the impact on their future health. Extraordinary anxiety is quite torturous. Proper dietary conditioning may be able to untie the knot and restore happiness and self-confidence. From a nutritional perspective, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, potassium, iron and calcium in the diet are essential elements for combating negative emotions, while chocolate, cheese, apples, bananas, day lily, nuts (peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, etc.), dairy products, etc. are foods that help maintain a peaceful state of mind.
