Postpartum illness can cause death?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does postpartum illness cause death?

Doctor's answer:

The so-called postpartum illness is commonly seen after childbirth or miscarriage, where the body fails to recover well, leading to a decline in immunity. Postpartum constitution weakness makes it easy to fall ill or experience unexplained body pain, changes in appetite or weight loss, and it is difficult to treat. The best time for screening is the 15th to 20th week of pregnancy. It is generally believed that amniocentesis will not harm the fetus because all procedures are carried out under strict ultrasound monitoring.
