Patient's question:
I went for a sweat session 42 days after giving birth because the hospital was very far away, so I didn't go for a follow-up check-up. Could you please tell me the pros and cons of sweating during the 42-day postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
Cesarean section at 42 days does not necessarily require sweating. The so-called "full moon sweating method" is specifically for women who suffer from postpartum confinement illnesses. If postpartum symptoms such as headaches, back pain, joint pain, or other confinement illnesses occur, sweating can be done around the 42-day mark. This can effectively alleviate these discomforts and has a certain effect on treating postpartum confinement illnesses. If no such symptoms appear, sweating is unnecessary, as it may easily lead to adverse conditions such as colds.
