During post natal care, Sutika has been advised to avoid factors such as Vyayama (Exercise), Maithuna (Sexual Intercourse),Krodha (Anger), Sheetasevana (breezy things).Women experiences lots of phsical and mental stress during labour and get exhausted. This may be the reason behind restricting her from exercise. Emotional imbalances like anger, fear and depression badly affect lactation Consumption of cold things aggravates Vata Dosha. Sexual intercourse involves strain & friction of genital tract which is already lacerated & weakened during the process of labour resulting into injury, bleeding & infection. The hypoestrogenic state following delivery makes vaginal epithelium thin and provides very little lubrication after sexual stimulation resulting into painful intercourse.
