简要总结
After the child birth most women experience major health issues such as depression, severe fatigue, back pain, perineal pain, mastitis, urinary or faecal incontinence, sexual problems and relationship problems with partners. That all lead to poorer emotional and mental health and factors contributing isolation, exhaustion and physical health problems.
'Sava Mahina (6-week period) is a traditional practice for postpartum women in India, which include special diet, lifestyle and supportive care. The current multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to evaluate outcomes of Indian postpartum care on women.
