Patient's question:
After her sister gave birth to a child, the family bought softshell turtle to help her recover her health. Now she is very concerned about dietary restrictions, so she wants to ask, does this softshell turtle help with milk production or reduce milk production?Doctor's answer:
The softshell turtle is rich in nutrients such as animal collagen, keratin, copper, and vitamin D, which can enhance the body's disease resistance, regulate the endocrine function of the human body, and also improve the quality of breast milk, boosting the immunity and intelligence of infants. Softshell turtle has a significant impact on breast milk, but it is important to note that there are taboos associated with eating it. People with a full abdomen, poor appetite, loose stools, and a cold stomach-spleen constitution should not eat softshell turtle. Those with edema, pleural or abdominal effusion, and hyperlipoproteinemia should also avoid consuming softshell turtle.
