Can you take a shower after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Today is the fifth day after my postpartum, and I've been sweating and feeling weak, wanting to take a bath.

Doctor's answer:

Drink water appropriately to replenish body fluids. Dress appropriately; wearing too many clothes can hinder sweat evaporation, while wearing too few makes it easy to catch a cold. It should be similar to your usual attire, just not feeling cold. The room temperature should also not be too high, with 20℃~25℃ being ideal. As long as you pay attention to keeping warm and protecting against wind, you should be able to wash your hair in one to two weeks. The key is to dry your hair immediately after washing, not letting it air dry naturally.
