What should I do if I have diarrhea after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
After giving birth, I ate traditional Chinese medicine again at 38 days. I had stomach and gallbladder pain, went to the emergency room at night, and received intravenous saline for 3 days. I had loose, undigested stools, but the stool came out in segments and floated. My stomach made intermittent noises. Now I am taking Western medicine. I only eat plain congee, noodles, and plain dumplings, and I don't eat any vegetables. What should I do about diarrhea after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you described should be caused by a deficiency of spleen, stomach, and intestines with cold. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, as it is more effective. Medications that can tonify the spleen, strengthen the intestines, and replenish qi can be used. Examples include: Fuzi Lizhong Wan, Ren Shen Jian Pi Wan, and Zheng Chang Sheng. These medications will never affect the child.
Additionally, for patients who have undergone cesarean section, their dietary condition and care during the recovery period are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
