What causes postpartum finger joint pain and how to treat it

Many female friends are prone to joint pain during the confinement period after childbirth due to weak physical condition and immune dysfunction. This is very common, but it also greatly affects future life. After childbirth, you will feel pain when holding a baby or picking up something. If you want to cure it in time, you must find the cause. So what causes postpartum finger joint pain and how should it be treated? I have summarized some content below and hope it can help you.

1. Calcium deficiency after childbirth. In this case, calcium supplementation is necessary.

2. Overwork, not paying attention to avoiding cold, and catching a cold due to wind.

3. During pregnancy, the metabolism is very active, the muscles, bones and pores are in an open state, and the vitality is greatly damaged during childbirth. During the confinement period, the wind and cold take advantage of the opportunity to invade. After the muscles, bones and pores are closed, the wind and cold are wrapped in the body and cannot be eliminated, causing long-term joint pain, fear of wind and cold, low back pain and other symptoms, which is commonly known as "confinement disease"

4 Postpartum blood deficiency, physical weakness, rheumatism, cold and heat are external factors causing this disease. After giving birth, I sweated profusely but did not keep warm, which caused me to catch the wind and cold. The house where the mother lives is damp and cold. The mother feels the invasion of drafts from doors, windows and corridors. The mother overworks herself too early or uses cold water to wash clothes. The mother has sex too early. The mother got wet in the rain. After childbirth, women suffer from uterine injury and bleeding, which leads to blood deficiency, severe damage to their vital energy, and emptiness of their meridians, blood vessels, muscles, tendons and bones. If external evil takes advantage of the opportunity to invade, it will cause pain, soreness, heaviness of muscles and joints, and fear of wind and cold, thus leading to this disease.

So how to regulate it?

Postpartum joint pain is quite common, mostly due to poor confinement during childbirth, which leads to exposure to cold and the development of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by postpartum deficiency of qi and blood, combined with invasion of external evil. Treatment should focus on regulating menstruation and activating collaterals, warming and promoting the circulation of Qi and blood. You can use some self-moxibustion, hot compress, massage and other methods, and add some Chinese herbal medicines that can replenish qi and blood, promote blood circulation, and dispel wind and dampness for better results.

Postpartum joint pain is also caused by not properly regulating the body during the confinement period. Excessive fatigue and cold can cause pain in the finger joints. If you suffer from postpartum joint pain, you must pay attention to rest. If you persist in long-term conditioning, there will be improvement. You can also go to the hospital to check if it is caused by calcium deficiency, and then strengthen physical exercise, go out more often, and maintain a good mood. Only by persisting in slowly adjusting the body can you recover. I hope the above content can relieve your pain and I wish you good health.
