After abortion, patients should give priority to three aspects of nourishment

Abortion is a common method to end an unwanted pregnancy, but it can cause great harm to the patient's body, especially for those who have undergone multiple abortions. Therefore, patients should first make the following three supplements after surgery.

1. Rehydrate in time

Therefore, it is necessary and important to replenish water. When replenishing water, it should be small and multiple times to reduce water evaporation. Sweat excretes a lot of water-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits during the recovery period. In addition, replenishing water is also helpful to prevent constipation.

2. Nutritional supplementation

Ensure that the patient has an appropriate intake of high-quality protein, sufficient vitamins and inorganic salts, especially sufficient iron, to prevent anemia. Food selection should be 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 and cold food, and do not eat radish, hawthorn, bitter melon, oranges and other foods that have the properties of regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and cooling.

After surgery, patients should eat more blood-tonifying foods or Chinese medicine diet therapy that has the effect of nourishing blood and promoting body fluid to improve anemia symptoms.
