Why is it easy to get cold 5 months after giving birth?

Question
Hello doctor,
After giving birth 5 months to now, every day before taking a hot bath or cold wind, I get goosebumps, cold hands and feet. In hot weather, less. Mild fever, burning in the body. Sometimes I wear a coat all day, and I have to wear a coat at night. Is it because I lie on a low fire, use a fan and water a lot, so I have this problem? Pain all over the body. Going to a blood test, the doctor said there was nothing wrong, the pain was caused by weather changes. I hope the doctor can help me answer why is it easy to get cold 5 months after giving birth?

Hello,
To the question "Why is it easy to get cold 5 months after giving birth?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
A woman's body will change after giving birth. Hormonal as well as psychological changes should make them more sensitive to temperature, weather and many other factors.
In view of the present, it is no longer recommended to lie on coals or open fire because of the risk of burns as well as CO asphyxiation. You need time to stabilize the endocrine, as well as gradually adapt.
Some measures to promote health include drinking enough water, doing light and moderate exercise (Yoga, ..), eating well, avoiding excessive abstinence, getting enough sleep and avoiding stress.
Wish you soon adapt, be happy with your little angel and family.
