Can women eat lamb after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I've had my baby for more than half a month. At that time, I had a cesarean section. It is said that after a cesarean section, many things cannot be eaten, which may cause bad interference to the wound. I've been craving lamb for the past two days, so I want to ask if it's okay to eat lamb after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Lamb is a warm food. After a cesarean section, lamb should not be consumed to avoid causing stomach upset, which may affect wound healing. The diet should be very light, and spicy or stimulating foods should be avoided. It is advisable to eat more high-protein foods, such as lean meat, eggs, and dairy products, which help promote wound repair. The wound area should also be sterilized, using disinfectant for wiping, and avoid getting it wet. There are many treatment methods for cesarean sections, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
