Question
Last January, I gave birth to a baby in a cold environment, which led to postpartum disease. The main symptoms are persistent back pain and discomfort around the navel, sensitivity to cold, and inability to eat cold foods. How should I handle this?
Answer
Postpartum disease is usually improved during the next pregnancy. It is recommended to avoid trying a mini postpartum period, as postpartum disease is caused by physical loss and body depletion due to pregnancy, often accompanied by symptoms like fear of cold and wind. Treatment should focus on rest, moderate exercise, avoiding contact with cold water, and considering the use of medicinal foods such as pork kidney soup and Job’s tears porridge.
