How long does it take to recover after a cesarean section during postpartum?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How long does it take to recover after a C-section during postpartum period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's best to rest for about one and a half months during the postpartum period. First, try to minimize the care of the baby as much as possible. In addition to feeding, it's best to rest more and avoid constantly holding the baby, as it can cause lower back pain. After the postpartum period, you can be exposed to wind.
In your case, it may be qi deficiency, which refers to general body weakness, with symptoms such as pale complexion, shortness of breath, fatigue in limbs, dizziness, sweating easily with exertion, and a low voice. Qi deficiency can lead to poor blood absorption, causing bleeding. It is recommended to take a large dose of Astragalus root decoction.
