Can I take a bath after five months of giving birth?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. May I ask if it's okay to take a bath after five months postpartum?

Doctor's answer:

If there is no infection issue, then it is okay to sit in a bath. Don't worry. Maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is likely caused by vaginitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the nature of the inflammation and then treat it accordingly. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia, wash the external genitalia with clean water, change underwear frequently, and change sanitary pads and liners in time during menstruation. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment to prevent cross-infection.
