Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I had a cesarean section on September 1st to give birth to my baby! By September 10th, my lochia had already stopped. Now, can I eat fruits and eggs, milk and ginger? Because I have come under pressure, will eating eggs cause inflammation? The elders also say that eating ginger will cause a tumor to grow on the wound? Fruits and vegetables are not given to me, saying they will affect breast milk and are not good for the baby? Can I really eat these things? What should I not eat? What kind of food should I take more of for postpartum recovery?Medical history and treatment outcomes: No allergies, no family history. What kind of help do you expect: I hope to get a detailed explanation.
Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is recommended not to worry too much. It's best to wait for a while before eating ginger. Currently, you can just consume non-spicy foods, and there's no need for excessive aversion.This condition involves a postpartum recovery process. Bowel movements primarily require high-protein nutrition, which is beneficial for milk production and overall postpartum recovery. You can consume fish soup, bone soup, etc. Additionally, ensure an adequate intake of fresh vegetables. Wishing you health and happiness.
For severe caesarean section patients, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention. Follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment and avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above advice is for reference only.
I hope the above answers are helpful to you. Thank you.
