What should you eat after a miscarriage? Doctors recommend these 2 meals

I believe that no matter what the circumstances, abortion is a last resort for women. However, perhaps because of poor medical conditions in the past, abortion could very likely harm life, so everyone paid more attention to it. Now, the pain and danger of abortion have been greatly reduced, causing many young girls to treat abortion as a common occurrence. There are also many young girls who lack common sense and do not pay attention to recuperation after abortion. They always think "I am still young, abortion is not giving birth, it is no big deal", this idea is completely wrong.

Xiao Li, a nurse in our hospital, told me happily that she was pregnant not long ago, but just one month later, she said with a sad face that she had accidentally miscarried. I thought that she would have to take a month off this time, but after a weekend, I saw her coming to work again. It’s not good to be so careless about your body, so I chatted with her in my free time. She asked me with a puzzled look on her face: "Do I need to rest after a miscarriage? I don’t feel uncomfortable." I quickly explained to her that don’t think that miscarriage is not a big deal. In fact, miscarriage is more serious than giving birth. Miscarriage used to be called abortion or miscarriage. The natural death of the embryo within 12 weeks of pregnancy is called abortion;

A miscarriage is when the fetus dies naturally after it has formed between 12 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Xue Lizhai, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, once said: "A miscarriage is more serious than a major one. A major one is like a ripe melon falling off by itself, while a miscarriage is like picking a melon from the ground and cutting off its roots." This means that when a woman gives birth, it is like a fruit growing, ripening and falling to the ground naturally; while a miscarriage is like a newly formed fruit being cut off by its roots, which causes great harm to the body; and abortion is a forced removal of the fetus, which has endless consequences. Therefore, you should take good care of your body after a miscarriage.

In addition to paying attention to daily life and dietary nutrition, I also recommend that Nurse Xiao Li eat more donkey-hide gelatin and motherwort. Everyone should have heard of donkey-hide gelatin, which is a gelatinous substance made from donkey skin as the main raw material. It tastes sweet and has a neutral nature. It can both replenish blood and stop bleeding. After miscarriage, bleeding and blood deficiency are the most likely conditions. Therefore, donkey-hide gelatin, which can replenish blood and stop bleeding, has become the best tonic after miscarriage.

However, although donkey-hide gelatin is good, it is sticky and can easily hinder the digestion of the spleen and stomach, causing symptoms of decreased digestive function such as loss of appetite and stomach distension. Therefore, it is not suitable for any women who have had a miscarriage. People with weak spleen and stomach should take it with caution. Moreover, donkey-hide gelatin is a good medicine for nourishing yin blood, suitable for people with yin deficiency, and women with yang deficiency should not take it casually. Motherwort is a "grass born for women". Doctors of all dynasties have used it as a good medicine for treating gynecological diseases. It can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, remove blood stasis and relieve pain. It has a good effect on many diseases of women during menstruation and after childbirth. When women have abdominal pain after miscarriage or after childbirth, motherwort can help contract the uterus and relieve pain.

1. Donkey hide gelatin and rice wine

Ingredients: 500 ml rice wine, 500 g donkey hide gelatin

Method: (1) Prepare the ingredients: Pour rice wine into a container, add donkey-hide gelatin, and soak for 48 hours.

(2) At this point, the gelatin has softened. Place the container containing the gelatin and Huangsa in a steamer. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and steam for 1 hour. Turn off the heat when the gelatin has completely melted.

(3) Take out the container, let it cool, then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.

(4) When taking it, scoop out one tablespoon each time and add an appropriate amount of boiling water. The gelatin will dissolve quickly and you can drink it. You can take one tablespoon each morning and evening.

Efficacy: The pungent and dispersing effect of rice wine can restrain the stickiness of donkey-hide gelatin and can also help the circulation of meridians. The two can be used together to beautify the skin and nourish the yin and blood.

Note: Donkey-hide gelatin can easily cause internal heat, so do not take too much at one time. Do not take donkey-hide gelatin at will when you have a cold, cough, diarrhea, or other diseases, or when there is wind, cold, or dampness blocking the body, or during menstruation or pregnancy.

2. Motherwort and Red Date Drink
