How to handle diarrhea for a two-month-old mother after giving birth

Patient's question:

Doctor, my wife has given birth to a child almost two months ago, and she has been feeling unwell. But recently, she has started having diarrhea again. It's not during the day, but at night, and she has bowel movements several times a night, with a lot of liquid in each. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Based on the situation you described, postpartum recovery generally takes at least three months to fully restore physical strength. If you have diarrhea at night and it's watery, I recommend you go to the hospital for a follow-up consultation to avoid dehydration. During breastfeeding, you can also take some medication to regulate your gastrointestinal function. This is the advice for the question "Doctor, my wife has been giving birth for almost two months." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
