Patient's question:
I had a C-section 33 days ago. Can I eat cold fruits? Does the amount of fruit I eat in a day have any impact? Because when I was postpartum, my postpartum nurse didn't let me eat cold fruits, saying it was bad for my teeth. I need to soak them in hot water before eating. Now that the weather is hot, I want to eat some cold ones.Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section for 33 days, you can eat fruits at room temperature. Do not eat fruits that have just been taken out of the refrigerator. Too cold can stimulate the teeth and gastrointestinal tract of postpartum women, leading to discomfort symptoms. Generally, it takes 42 days after delivery for the body's organs and systems to fully return to their pre-pregnancy state, except for the breasts which need to be breastfed. Cesarean section patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding symptomatic treatment. Proper diet should be maintained in daily dietary intake to avoid stimulating foods.
