Puerperium treatment in Celaya

The postpartum period is the stage that follows childbirth, during which a woman's body recovers from the changes of pregnancy and gradually returns to its previous state. It is not an illness, but a natural period that should be accompanied by appropriate care.

What happens: The uterus returns to its size, hormones adjust, breastfeeding is established and physical and emotional changes characteristic of this phase occur.

Signs to watch for:

• Heavy or foul-smelling bleeding
• Fever or intense pain
• Deep sadness or emotional distress that does not ease

Which specialist accompanies this stage? The gynecologist follows up on the recovery and addresses questions about breastfeeding or mood. At any sign that worries you, the most advisable thing is to consult your doctor.
