How long after delivery can you touch cold water?

Patient's question:

The first child was a daughter. My husband and I always wanted a son. At four months of pregnancy, we had a thorough check and found it was a girl, so we had an abortion. After the abortion, my husband was very busy and didn't have time to take care of me. Seeing how tired he was, I didn't know how long I could wait before touching cold water. Hello, how long after an abortion can I touch cold water?

Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage, it's best to wait for a month before considering contact with cold water. Otherwise, you may experience cold-related issues again, leaving behind some local aches and joint pain. Under normal circumstances, post-miscarriage also requires a "sitting the month" period. If you need to wash something, it's best to use hot water to prevent catching a cold. At the very least, you should consider resting in bed for two weeks, and avoid going out and walking around for at least a month.
