What are the dietary precautions after medical abortion?

Medical abortion is also a common method of abortion. Medical abortion has a greater impact on women's health. It is best to rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after abortion. You should adjust your diet and eat more high-protein foods to improve your body's immunity. For example, eat some chicken, lean pork, soy products, dairy products, etc. In addition, eat more vegetables and fruits to help replenish trace elements in time.

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 intake. 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.
