Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can women who have had a cesarean section drink pure milk?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is okay to consume milk 20 days after a cesarean section. It should be heated before consumption.First week postpartum: Drink plenty of water
In the first three to five days after giving birth, a mother's body is still weak. The wound may still be painful, and young mothers may experience constipation and swelling. This is due to anesthesia, so drinking plenty of water is very necessary. It is best to consume hot tea and water that is at least room temperature, as these can promote intestinal movement.
Timely bowel movements
After a cesarean section, due to pain, the abdomen may not be strong enough to bear force, making it difficult to pass urine and stool promptly. This can lead to urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, it is even more important to follow a regular schedule and develop a habit of timely bowel movements.
Within the first week, soups should not be seasoned with any irritating spices such as Sichuan pepper, fennel, scallions, garlic, or ginger.
Do not lift heavy objects for two months after delivery:
Now, the baby is everything for the young mother. At this time, avoid lifting anything heavier than your baby. As the baby grows taller and heavier day by day, the mother's strength will gradually increase. Around two months after delivery, you can try climbing stairs. Climbing one floor up and down in a day is sufficient. Initially, even less exercise may be appropriate.
