The term “menstruation” refers to the period of puerperium, during which room temperature water is generally permitted.
Drinking room temperature water in moderation during the puerperium will not cause any special harm to your body. In addition, room temperature water is good for replenishing your body with water, so you can drink room temperature water in moderation during the puerperium. However, it is important not to drink too much room-temperature water to prevent increased urination or water intoxication.
It should be noted that during the puerperium, mothers should emphasize on nutrition and choose a balanced diet consisting of diversified foods, and increase animal foods and seafood rich in high quality protein and vitamin A. However, excessive consumption of certain foods should be avoided. In addition, for the sake of the baby’s health, mothers should refrain from smoking and alcohol, and avoid drinking strong tea and coffee.
