Patient's question:
What should be paid attention to when doing postpartum care? Doctor, I am a woman and 30 years old. I didn't do well during postpartum care, such as having lower back pain, buttock pain, neck pain, and joint pain. Please ask what should be paid attention to when doing postpartum care.Doctor's answer:
Postpartum care refers to the period within two weeks after giving birth. During this time, as the body is still recovering, the immune system is weak, making it easy to get sick, so it's important to pay attention to rest and recovery.Recommendations for postpartum care include moderate exercise and rest, as well as a balanced diet and herbal remedies. These practices help the uterus gradually return to its pre-pregnancy size, and with proper nourishment, blood and qi can also be restored, even better than before. This is an opportunity to gradually improve your constitution during this period. Pay attention to maintaining a comfortable temperature, keeping clean, avoiding overexertion, and protecting yourself from cold, and you will be fine.
