产妇在月子期间不能洗澡吗?
🚫 传统观念(误区):“月子洗澡会落下病根”
这是因为早年卫生条件差、无热水、居住潮湿,导致一些产妇洗澡后受凉引发头痛、风湿等症状,便被误认为是“洗澡落下的病”. 但实际上,问题在于方法不对,不是洗澡本身!
☑️ 现代医学观点:可以洗澡,但要“正确洗”
妈妈在月子里出汗多、恶露排出,有清洁身体的必要。
只要身体状况允许,洗澡不但可以,而且是有益的!
Can mothers take a bath during postpartum confinement (the "zuo yuezi" period)?
🚫 Traditional Belief (Myth):
"Bathing during the postpartum period will cause long-term health issues."
This misconception originated from poor living conditions in the past—no access to hot water, damp environments, and inadequate postpartum care. As a result, some mothers developed symptoms like headaches or rheumatism after bathing, which were mistakenly blamed on the act of bathing itself.
In reality, the problem was improper bathing methods—not bathing itself!
☑️ Modern Medical Perspective:
Bathing is allowed—as long as it’s done correctly.
New mothers tend to sweat more and expel lochia, so maintaining hygiene is important.
As long as the mother’s physical condition permits, bathing is not only safe—it’s beneficial!
