Introduction
Under normal circumstances, "ren liu" (人流) refers to induced abortion. After undergoing an induced abortion, it is recommended to eat foods such as eggs, brown sugar, millet porridge, chicken meat, and spinach. Eggs are rich in protein, fat, vitamins, and various trace elements such as calcium and iron. Protein is the basic component of human cells and tissues and helps the body repair damaged tissues.

Generally speaking, "ren liu" (人流) refers to induced abortion. After an induced abortion, it is recommended to eat foods such as eggs, brown sugar, millet porridge, chicken, and spinach. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Eggs

Eggs are rich in protein, fat, vitamins, and various trace elements such as calcium and iron. Protein is a basic component of human cells and tissues and helps repair damaged tissues in the body. After an induced abortion, women need to replenish protein to restore strength and repair damage to the uterus and other reproductive organs.

2. Brown sugar

Brown sugar contains abundant nutrients such as glucose and iron. Glucose can quickly replenish energy, as women's bodies are relatively weak after an induced abortion and have high energy consumption; timely sugar supplementation can alleviate physical fatigue. Iron is an important raw material for synthesizing hemoglobin, which helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia that may occur after an induced abortion.

3. Millet porridge

Millet contains rich B vitamins, such as vitamin B1 and B2, which are very important for maintaining normal metabolism in the body. Moreover, millet porridge is easily digested and absorbed, making it suitable for women with weakened gastrointestinal function after an induced abortion.

4. Chicken

Chicken is rich in high-quality protein, with amino acid compositions close to the body's needs, making it easily absorbed and utilized by the body. Chicken also contains certain amounts of trace elements such as zinc. Zinc plays a positive role in immune function and wound healing. Women can drink chicken soup or eat stewed chicken after an induced abortion.

5. Spinach

Spinach contains abundant nutrients such as iron, vitamin C, and folic acid. Iron helps replenish blood, vitamin C promotes iron absorption, and folic acid also plays an important role in aiding women's recovery after an induced abortion and preventing anemia.

In addition, women should also pay attention to rest, keeping warm, and personal hygiene after an induced abortion, avoiding excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise to promote physical recovery.

Can menstruation-inducing drugs cause miscarriage?
Whether a menstruation-inducing drug can cause miscarriage generally depends on whether the woman is pregnant and the type of medication used—it cannot be generalized. If the woman is not pregnant, using menstruation-inducing drugs as directed will not lead to miscarriage; however, if she is pregnant, certain types of such medications may trigger miscarriage. Therefore, when menstrual delay occurs, it is important first to undergo medical evaluation to confirm whether pregnancy is present, and then use menstruation-inducing drugs only under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

How long after an abortion can you get pregnant?
It is recommended to wait 3–6 months after an abortion before trying to conceive again. The abortion procedure can cause mechanical damage to the endometrium, which requires time to heal and regenerate to a thickness suitable for embryo implantation. If pregnancy occurs too soon, the endometrium may not have fully recovered, increasing the risk of complications such as recurrent miscarriage or embryonic arrest due to an unfavorable implantation environment. Additionally, early conception may raise the likelihood of pregnancy-related complications, including placenta previa and placental adhesion.

Can you eat apples after induced abortion?
In general, apples can be consumed in moderation after induced abortion, but attention should be paid to the variety and method of consumption. Overall postoperative diet should still follow the principles of being light, soft, and high in protein. Recommended staple foods include millet porridge and soft noodles. Protein sources should primarily consist of steamed egg custard, deboned fish meat, and chicken breast puree, while fried foods and spicy seasonings should be avoided. Raw or cold fruits and vegetables, alcohol, strong tea, and coffee should be temporarily avoided.

Can you eat bananas after a miscarriage?
Bananas can be included in the diet on the same day after an artificial abortion procedure. As long as there is no persistent diarrhea or uncontrolled blood glucose, half to one banana per day is appropriate. Bananas have a soft texture, making them easy to chew and digest with minimal gastrointestinal burden. Their potassium content helps correct fatigue caused by fluid loss during the procedure; vitamin B6 supports hematopoiesis and aids in correcting mild anemia; and soluble dietary fiber increases stool bulk.

Can you eat chocolate after induced abortion?
In general, it is acceptable to consume a small amount of chocolate after induced abortion, but excessive intake is not recommended. Chocolate may temporarily improve mood and provide energy; however, due to its high sugar and caffeine content, overconsumption can negatively affect physical recovery and rest. Therefore, the amount and frequency of chocolate consumption should be controlled. Post-abortion diet should primarily be light and nutritionally balanced, emphasizing high-quality protein and fresh fruits and vegetables, along with adequate rest.

Can progesterone prevent or treat spontaneous abortion?
Progesterone is not a "universal remedy" for preserving pregnancy. It is only evidence-based for threatened miscarriage caused by luteal phase deficiency. Its mechanism involves supplementing progesterone secreted by the ovarian corpus luteum, thereby stabilizing the endometrium and providing nourishment for embryo implantation and early development. If serum progesterone levels are below 15 ng/ml before five weeks of gestation, oral medication may be taken under medical supervision, along with dynamic monitoring of progesterone levels and ultrasound examinations.
