Hello,
With the question “Does eating a lot of sweets affect the endometrium after giving birth? ", the doctor answered as follows:
You are currently in the postpartum period (6 weeks postpartum) this is the recovery period of the mother after giving birth and she needs enough milk to feed her baby. Nutrition for pregnant women needs enough nutrients: Protein, sugar, fat, vitamins. If you eat too much sweet does not affect the endometrium but will affect the general nutrition of the body.
Therefore, you should adjust your diet accordingly, do not eat too much sweet. Signs of left lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding are signs of uterine contractions and postpartum discharge. However, you should go back to your doctor for a postnatal checkup.
If you still have questions about how eating a lot of sweets can affect the endometrium after giving birth, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for an examination. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
