Can postpartum women not touch cold water?

Patient's question:

I heard that you shouldn't touch cold water during postpartum recovery. I touched cold water during this time. Will it affect my health?

Doctor's answer:

As everyone knows, for a woman who has just given birth, paying attention to warmth is very important. Chinese women have relatively weak constitutions, and after giving birth, a woman's body is very frail. Therefore, at this time, the postpartum woman should not touch cold water. Additionally, in terms of diet, patients must pay extra attention and avoid greasy, spicy, and cold foods. Otherwise, it is very detrimental to the postpartum woman's body recovery and may also have some negative effects on the baby's health.
