Postpartum check-up at 42 days: What tests are included?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What tests are done at 42 days postpartum?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum check-ups should be conducted at 42 days, including a full-body examination and a gynecological examination. It is also recommended to bring the infant for a comprehensive check-up. The full-body examination for the postpartum woman includes measuring blood pressure and pulse, blood tests, and urine tests, as well as assessing breastfeeding conditions. If there are any medical or obstetric complications, corresponding examinations should be performed. The gynecological examination primarily observes whether the pelvic reproductive organs have returned to the pre-pregnancy state. The infant's examination mainly focuses on assessing the child's development and feeding conditions.
