Patient's question:
Can you eat mandarin oranges while postpartum?Doctor's answer:
Oranges are warm in nature. If you belong to the Yin deficiency and Yang excess constitution, you are naturally prone to Yin deficiency and fire excess. Eating too many oranges can easily cause internal heat. In cases of Yin deficiency and fire excess, consuming too many oranges may lead to symptoms such as mouth and tongue ulcers, dry mouth and throat, sore throat, constipation, irritability, and restlessness.Hello, based on your description, if you had a cesarean section, you can eat oranges while postpartum. However, since your body is relatively weak after giving birth, it is recommended to consume room-temperature oranges and avoid eating them too cold to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.
