Is it good for pregnant women to take a bath every day?

Postpartum women sweat very easily, and their active metabolism will naturally make their bodies very dirty. If they cannot take a bath, they will feel very uncomfortable, especially when the weather is hot. However, they still need to pay attention to their own health during the confinement period. Only by doing confinement properly will it not affect their health. So is it good for postpartum women to take a bath every day? We still need to have a correct understanding of this.

A new mother's body is in a state of excessive "catabolism" after childbirth. In addition to frequent profuse sweating, lochia is constantly discharged, and coupled with postpartum lactation, the mixture of multiple fluids will emit a very unpleasant odor. The issue of postpartum cleaning becomes urgent because it not only affects the health of new mothers, but also affects their mood.

Cleaning the body promptly after delivery has the effect of activating blood circulation and promoting qi circulation, which can help new mothers relieve labor fatigue and maintain a comfortable mood. It can also promote blood circulation in perineal wounds and accelerate healing. Therefore, taking a bath frequently during the confinement period is very beneficial to the health of new mothers.

However, you should avoid taking a bath within two weeks. In order to avoid catching a cold, you should avoid taking a bath within two weeks after delivery. From the third week onwards, you can use sliced ​​ginger + boiled water for shower, but the bathing time should not be too long. The room temperature of 20 degrees and the water temperature of 34 to 36 degrees are most suitable, and the bathing time is about 10 minutes. After washing, dry your body quickly and put on clothes in time to avoid catching a cold. You can take a bath only after the full moon.

Facial cleaning and maintenance: No medicinal alcohol or salt is needed for washing the face and brushing the teeth, but warm water is needed. In order to prevent head wind and headache, cold water must not be used. The food eaten by postpartum women is mostly soft and fine, which has lost the self-cleaning effect during chewing, and is more likely to provide conditions for the formation of dental plaque, so postpartum women should brush their teeth as usual.

In addition, for facial care, you can use facial cleansers and skin care products that are suitable for yourself. For local disinfection, you can add an appropriate amount of salt and medicinal alcohol to tea water (the tea water that is filtered out when making tea), and then use this water to clean the genitals and anus, which has an astringent effect.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about whether it is good for postpartum women to take a bath every day. Traditionally, bathing is not allowed during the confinement period, let alone touching cold water. However, scientific research now shows that bathing is allowed two weeks after delivery. However, you must pay attention to the water temperature and the length of bathing time, so as not to affect your health.
