Why does the whole body itch after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum generalized itching may be caused by a weakened immune system after childbirth, which can easily trigger some diseases that are not usually apparent. It could also be due to allergies. It is recommended to maintain good personal hygiene and temporarily avoid allergenic foods like fish and shrimp. If necessary, it is advisable to visit a dermatology department for examination.
