Can I drink rice wine ten days after a D&C (dilation and curettage)?
Generally, rice wine should not be consumed ten days after a curettage procedure. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Rice wine is a traditional fermented beverage made from rice, malt, water, and other ingredients. It has a refreshing taste and can promote blood circulation and overall health. However, a curettage procedure causes trauma to the uterus, resulting in vaginal bleeding post-surgery. Since rice wine enhances blood circulation, consuming it after surgery may increase vaginal bleeding and hinder recovery. After a curettage, patients should follow their doctor's instructions, get adequate rest, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages or stimulant drinks to prevent interference with healing.
Curettage is a common gynecological procedure typically used to remove the uterine lining and treat conditions such as miscarriage, intrauterine pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy. If abnormal symptoms occur after the procedure—such as abdominal pain, fever, or unusual bleeding—patients should promptly seek medical evaluation and treatment. Additionally, before and after undergoing curettage, patients should consult their doctor for comprehensive information on postoperative care and precautions, strictly following medical advice to ensure proper recovery and prevent complications.
