How often should postpartum checkups be done?

Patient's question:

It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. How long should postpartum check-ups be done?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, postpartum rest and recuperation are generally necessary, and it's important to avoid stimulating factors. You can have a follow-up checkup around two weeks. If recovery is not going well, you can have another checkup promptly based on your constitution, considering the possibility of milk stasis or mastitis. It is recommended that you use a breast pump to express milk and take some safe anti-inflammatory medications such as Amoxicillin or Cefixime, which can help. Local heat application can also aid in the.
