Can you use air conditioner while doing postpartum recovery? Can you use a fan?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please tell me if it's okay to use air conditioning or a fan while recovering from childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I completely understand how you feel. After waking up, you're sweating all over because your body is weak after giving birth, not because it's hot.
So, it's best not to turn on the air conditioner, as it's easy to catch a cold and get sick that way. If that happens, it will be too late to regret it. During the postpartum period, you must take good care of yourself. Otherwise, any health issues could be a major problem for a lifetime.
