What to eat during the postpartum period when discharging lochia?

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. Could you please advise on what to eat during the postpartum period when expelling lochia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the residual, an ultrasound examination can help with diagnosis. If residual is found and it is small in size, it can be treated with Motherwort ointment and anti-inflammatory drugs. For larger residues, medication may not be effective, and a D&C procedure can be considered. Post-surgery, it is important to maintain hygiene in the perineal area, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
The primary task of ovarian care is to balance estrogen levels in the body. However, it is crucial not to supplement blindly. Instead, choose plant-based phytoestrogens that have balancing and regulating effects, such as soybeans, broad beans, grains, wheat, black rice, sunflower seeds, and onions.
