Can postpartum women eat salt?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat salt while breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

During postpartum recovery, it's advisable to consume less salt. Otherwise, the mother's body may become weak. As long as the food doesn't taste salty when seasoned with salt, it's fine. The baby's kidneys are not yet fully developed, and excessive salt can burden the kidneys. You can drink pork trotter and soybean soup, which can increase milk production. At the same time, it's important to rest well, get good sleep, and maintain a positive mood!
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it's best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
