Patient's question:
My baby has been born for ten days, and I have also been on maternity leave for ten days. It's really tough. My mom even told me to cover up. She said I should take maternity medicine in these two days. When is the best time to take maternity medicine?Doctor's answer:
It is better to take it in the middle of the postpartum period. If taken in the early stages of postpartum, it may hinder the smooth discharge of blood stasis, affecting uterine recovery and normal metabolism. Additionally, postpartum medications are generally aimed at nourishing qi and blood, removing blood stasis, and promoting new growth, which are often local customs. During the postpartum period, pay close attention to lifestyle habits. The indoor temperature should not be too high, and ventilation should be frequent. It is essential to avoid tightly closed doors and windows, and to keep windows open often to maintain fresh indoor air.
