Patient's question:
My wife recently had a cesarean section and wanted to ask the doctor what she should eat. She wants to consult about dietary recommendations 6 days after the cesarean section. What should be the basis for it to promote complete recovery of the body? She hopes the doctor can share some tips on dietary therapy.Doctor's answer:
One week after cesarean section, if has resumed, you can eat more high-protein foods: fish, meat, eggs, and also high-vitamin green leafy vegetables and room temperature fruits. If there was tearing during labor or excessive tearing after delivery due to poor uterine contractions, you can eat foods that replenish qi and blood: pork liver, pig blood, egg yolk, longan, and red dates. For severe anemia, you can take Pu Xue oral liquid or ferrous sulfate oral liquid. Sufficient breastfeeding after delivery can help the uterus to recover completely.
