What are the dietary treatments for left lower abdominal pain after childbirth?

People often say that mother is the greatest person in the world. Because we know that the process from the development of an embryo to the birth of a baby is full of hardships, and many things can happen during this process. Even after successfully giving birth to a baby, some people will experience lower abdominal pain after delivery. It may be on the left side, or the right side, or even on both sides. So what dietary therapy can be used to alleviate this situation?

This disease is mostly caused by blood stasis and cold, but it can also be caused by excessive blood loss and lack of nourishment to the uterus, resulting in dull pain.

For postpartum abdominal pain, the diet should be light and eat less raw and cold food. Foods that are likely to cause bloating, such as sweet potatoes, soybeans, broad beans, peas, snacks, milk, and white sugar, should also be eaten in moderation. Pay attention to keeping bowel movements smooth and the stool should be soft. The mother should not stay in bed, but get up and move around as soon as possible, and gradually increase the amount of activity according to her physical strength. Postpartum women should eat mutton, hawthorn, brown sugar, red beans, etc. Commonly used dietary therapy methods include angelica ginger mutton soup, eight-treasure chicken, hawthorn drink, cinnamon and brown sugar soup, angelica cooked pork liver, etc.

If the mother has severe abdominal pain accompanied by high fever (above 39°C) and foul-smelling dark-colored lochia, the infection should be considered to have worsened and she should seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the disease.
