Patient's question:
I had a C-section and it's been 33 days now. Lately, I've been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach, and today I even have lower back pain, similar to what I used to experience during menstrual cramps. What could be the reason for this? My postpartum discharge stopped before 20 days, and I'm wondering if it's because I'm exhausted from taking care of the baby and not getting enough rest at night.Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, it is likely that your symptoms are caused by factors such as qi and blood deficiency, cold and dampness stagnation, etc. Suggestions: It is recommended that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment, take oral herbal decoctions, and adjust your lifestyle accordingly. In addition, during the recovery period after a cesarean section, in addition to taking medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from the cesarean section.
