What fruits can be eaten after an abortion?
Disease description:
I recently underwent an abortion procedure and have been feeling somewhat weak lately. My husband bought a variety of fruits, but I’m unsure which ones are suitable for me to eat. Could you please advise which fruits are most appropriate to consume after an abortion?

Hello, you may eat fruit after an induced abortion, but avoid cold fruits and fruits that have not been thoroughly washed. Your body is relatively weak following the procedure, so you should avoid cold or spicy foods and alcohol. Consuming unwashed fruit may lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and uterine contractions, potentially triggering vaginal bleeding. Avoid sitz baths (i.e., soaking the pelvic area in water) for two weeks after the procedure—or until vaginal bleeding has completely ceased—and use separate bathing equipment. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
