General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Diet should not be a problem after taking pills for medical abortion. You can have regular diet as usual. It would be preferable to have soft and easily digestible less spicy diet for a couple of days. Avoid oily and spicy diet which can induce gastric irritation as it may precipitate nausea and vomiting along with pills taken for abortion. Have it in less quantity and more frequently. Kindly take good quantities of fluids along with it.
Make sure to undergo abdominal ultrasound scan and clinical examination by Gynecologist once the bleeding stops to make sure the abortion is complete.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
