Patient's question:
We have a three-month maternity leave, but I have to go back to work next week. The company expects me to return earlier, but my family wants me to rest for another month. I was wondering if I could go back to work now? So far, I haven't had any symptoms (except for back pain when breastfeeding without support). Will going back to work interfere with my future recovery? (I work in interior design and construction, sitting all day.)Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to rest for a month, pay attention to rest, and enhance nutrition. Avoid heavy physical labor and intense exercise within half a month to prevent contact with cold water. Eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables containing vitamins, to slow down the body's recovery. The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplemented with various vitamins, and pay attention to a diet of light, thin, and soft foods. We hope that cesarean section patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
