Patient's question:
I have been postpartum for 10 days now. Because I used to sweat a lot before, my hair has started to smell a bit sour. In the past two days, I feel much better, and I really want to wash my hair. However, my mother-in-law says that women should not touch water while breastfeeding, let alone wash their hair. But if I don't wash my hair, I really feel uncomfortable.What kind of help do I need: Can women wash their hair while breastfeeding?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, it is okay to wash your hair while breastfeeding. Depending on your body, you can wash your hair after one or two weeks. When taking a bath after giving birth, there are some things to pay attention to: Generally, you can take a bath and wash your hair one week after giving birth, but you should not take a tub bath to avoid dirty water from the bath entering the reproductive tract and causing infection.
