Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I wash my hair during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:Yes, you should use a hairdryer. Postpartum women must rest quietly at home. Pay attention to sleep and do not allow yourself to become overly tired, but absolutely do not stay in bed for the entire month. Generally, you can get out of bed and do some light activities three days after giving birth. It's important to engage in appropriate physical exercise during the postpartum period, such as postpartum exercises or yoga, which can help you regain your figure more quickly. From the second day after birth, you can comb your hair, brush your teeth, and rinse your mouth. However, try to avoid cold water as much as possible. You can use boiled water infused with mugwort, Chinese foxglove vine, or ginger peels to bathe and wash your hair. Keep your hands and nipples clean and hygienic, paying particular attention to maintaining cleanliness in the perineal area. Both vegetables and fruits are fine to eat. If you are concerned about coldness, then eat less cold-tasting fruit like watermelon and bananas. A postpartum woman's diet should consist of small, frequent meals with a balance of meat and vegetables. It's especially important to emphasize light, easily digestible foods. Absolutely avoid overeating to prevent excessive nutrition. During the postpartum period, the room should be frequently ventilated, but avoid direct air exchange between windows and doors. Do not let a draft blow directly on the postpartum woman or the infant, as this could cause a cold.
