Patient's question:
After my caesarean section, I stayed in bed for 13 days. After 13 days, I did everything myself—bathing the baby, doing laundry, and even took four showers and washed my hair four times during the postpartum period. Now, whenever I have a full hand, I feel like something is running back and forth in my two legs. It's like thumping here and thumping there, and the same with my two arms. The condition in my legs is severe, happening all the time. Recently, after medication-induced abortion, it seems to have gotten worse. What's going on? My hands feel uncomfortable, even though there's no pain or itching. But it's distracting my attention.Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, due to physical weakness, it is not advisable to overexert yourself. Based on your description, it seems the discomfort is likely caused by overexertion during the postpartum period. I suggest you relax your mind and always maintain a cheerful mood! Pay attention to rest, keep your legs warm, and you can seek treatment for electrotherapy in the rehabilitation department of the hospital. The above advice is for the question "Is there a problem if everything is done by oneself after sitting the postpartum confinement for only thirteen days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
