Can you take Chinese medicine to regulate metabolism while breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain, and I don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. May I ask if it's possible to breastfeed while taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate metabolism?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, at least a week should be maintained. Different medications have different metabolic times in the body. Generally, after stopping medication during breastfeeding, it is advisable to pause breastfeeding for about a week.
Hello, this condition may be related to postpartum wind, osteoarthritis, or bone spurs. It is recommended to have an X-ray examination at the hospital. If necessary, surgical treatment can be considered.
