Patient's question:
Today, while chatting with my colleagues, we talked about the topic of double postpartum care. I want to know what the term "double postpartum care" means?Doctor's answer:
The term "double postpartum period" originated from abroad. Unlike China, Western countries do not have the tradition of sitting the postpartum month, but they have a similar term called "postpartum period." In modern medical terms, the postpartum period refers to 42 days after childbirth, which is also 6 weeks postpartum. Following this duration to sit the postpartum month is referred to as the "double postpartum period." Sitting the double postpartum period clearly benefits postpartum mothers, as additional rest is undoubtedly more beneficial for the body.
