Introduction

After an artificial abortion procedure, women should generally avoid eating certain fruits such as watermelon, grapefruit, dragon fruit, persimmon, and mango. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. Watermelon is considered a cold-natured fruit; since women's bodies are relatively weak after an abortion, consuming watermelon may cause the body to become chilled, thus affecting recovery. Eating grapefruit after the procedure may lead to abnormal uterine contractions and interfere with uterine recovery.
