　　This "friend of women" was scolded miserably

　　Anti-counterfeiting fighter Fang Zhouzi stepped forward again this time, but instead of fighting counterfeiting, he transformed into a "friend of women", pointing out that traditional Chinese "confinement" is a bad habit, and calling on Chinese people to integrate with international standards. As soon as this statement came out, he was criticized by netizens, who believed that he did not have professional knowledge in obstetrics and had no right to speak.

　　Yesterday, reporters interviewed Fang Zhouzi about this. He said that what he said came from international medical theory, but obstetrics and gynecology experts denied this. The "confinement period" that ordinary people call is also the "puerperium period" in modern medicine. It is definitely female A weak stage that requires rest.

　　“"Fighter against Counterfeiting" changes direction: Postpartum “"Confinement" is not international

　　On July 13, "China Youth Daily" published Fang Zhouzi's article "Why is confinement a bad habit?" ", he stated in the article:“‘ Confinement disease ’It can also be said to be a psychological disease , is caused by suspicious associations... Avoiding wind and water and being unhygienic will increase the chance of bacterial infection, and avoiding movement and food will reduce immunity. Therefore, the result of confinement is that it is more likely to catch a cold or cold. In order to force pregnant women to submit, there is a set of scary sayings: if you don't sit in the confinement period or do not sit properly during the confinement period, you will get "confinement disease" in the future. ”

　　Fang Zhouzi said that these bad habits of tabooing movement and food are incompatible with modern medicine. In Western countries, nurses often give mothers cold drinks after giving birth. On the day of delivery, the nurse will ask the mother to take a bath and force her to get out of bed and exercise. Many overseas Chinese do not confine themselves to confinement. He also said on Weibo that his wife did not undergo confinement when she gave birth to a child. He believes that confinement is a traditional bad habit with Chinese characteristics that is influenced by traditional Chinese medicine culture.

　　After Fang Zhouzi linked his article on Weibo, he did not expect that the opposition from netizens was extremely fierce this time. There were almost no supporters of this article. Netizens questioned the views expressed in the article from many aspects. Some even doubted whether Fang Zhouzi's professional background was authoritative.

　　Some people say that the postpartum confinement period for women today does not have as many taboos as mentioned in Fang Zhouzi's article. They basically follow the guidance of obstetricians and gynecologists. They have long since changed their methods to take care of their bodies, and they do not stick to many "taboos". Some netizens also asked whether postpartum confinement should be supported by survey data of contemporary medical theory, and traditional habits cannot be easily negated.
