Patient's question:
Got postpartum wind and have been taking medication. Worried about taking too many medications affecting milk production. Wondering if postpartum wind can heal on its own and if it's possible to change diapers?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum wind is a condition caused by the opening of the tendons, bones, and skin pores, along with a weakened body and a vulnerable state where external and internal defenses are compromised, leading to the penetration of wind and cold. It typically occurs after childbirth. Medications for postpartum women should be used with caution, as some drugs can pass into breast milk and affect the baby. Women suffering from postpartum wind can resume changing diapers for their child after recovery. During treatment, it is recommended to change diapers for the child at intervals while taking medication. Another key aspect of prevention is to check on the child frequently during deep sleep, especially for babies who spit up frequently.
