How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

The standard TCM confinement period lasts 30 to 42 days, starting immediately after hospital discharge. During this time, daily or weekly sessions of acupuncture, herbal therapy, and pelvic floor exercises are scheduled. Most women notice significant improvement in energy, lactation, and pelvic strength within 2–3 weeks, with full recovery typically achieved by day 40. A 3-month postpartum follow-up is recommended to ensure long-term benefits.
