When can I practice yoga after giving birth?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? When can I start practicing yoga after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, everyone's situation is different. Wait until the wound doesn't hurt during exercise. The earlier the better, because yoga is not a strenuous activity. The duration shouldn't be too long. Add more gradually once your body adapts.
Hello, some uncomfortable symptoms may appear in the late stages of pregnancy. Due to changes in hormone levels, the concentration of sodium in the body increases. Standing or sitting for long periods, with the enlarged abdomen compressing the inferior vena cava, can impede blood circulation in the lower limbs, leading to edema.
