Why is it easy to have diarrhea after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am 26 years old, and I gave birth to a girl last August. My recovery has been quite good overall, but I feel that my bowel movements are not smooth every day, and I tend to get diarrhea easily if I eat poorly. Why is this happening? How can I adjust it? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

The most likely cause of your symptoms is still a weak spleen and stomach. You should see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in time, or you can use Ginseng Jianpi Wan for self-regulation. If the effect is not very significant, you can add some Zhengchang Sheng. In terms of diet, you can eat more foods that tonify the spleen and invigorate the Qi, such as chestnuts, Chinese yam, and beef. Currently, focus on rest and nutrition. It is best to adopt a small meals, frequent meals diet, and choose easily digestible foods. Take Simethicone and Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian for treatment. If necessary, undergo routine stool tests and rectal examinations for confirmation.
