We experienced an abdominal obese patient with postpartum disease. From the 15th of July 2006 to the 16th of September 2006 we applied herbal medications (Gungguijohyeoleumgamibang and Taeeumjouitanggamibang), acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, electrolipolysis, low calorie diet, aerobic exercise, behavioral therapy to her. We examined the changes in body weight, BMI, PBF and WHR and the changes in cold hypersensitivity of lower extremities and pain of wrists and ankles. Her weight decreased from 49.6kg to 44.5kg, BMI from 20.9kg/m2 to 18.8kg/m2, PBF from 27.7% to 23.9%, WHR from 0.84 to 0.78. Cold hypersensitivity of lower extremities and pain of wrists and ankles, symptoms typical of postpartum disease disappeared after treatment. Despite a low calorie diet, lactational performance was not impaired.
