Hello. In your case, you need to see an obstetrician and internal medicine doctor about your reproductive health, as well as get advice about postpartum diseases. In addition, you need to eat well, rest, and think less to worry about slowly improving.
You can also go directly to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be examined by doctors, assess your health status and have a timely intervention direction. We hope to see you soon to discuss more about your health.
