2. Anemia caused by excessive blood loss after childbirth and intrauterine blood congestion can cause postpartum diseases such as physical weakness, dizziness, abdominal pain, and back pain.

3. Women are forbidden to have sexual intercourse during the confinement period. Excessive sexual intercourse will damage the yin and essence. Deficiency of both yin and essence will lead to weakness of tendons and bones, which allows wind evil to invade. In addition to fear of cold and wind, and joint pain, the main symptoms are heaviness of the body, weakness, back pain, and fatigue intolerance.

During the confinement period, it is easy to catch a cold, be afraid of the wind, lose blood, and have abdominal pain.

Therefore, during the confinement period, you should pay more attention to nursing methods, understand effective adjustment measures, enhance resistance, and reduce symptoms of physical weakness.

What are the precautions for confinement?

1. During the confinement period, mothers should not sleep on a bed that is too soft, as it is bad for their joints.

2. Within one month after delivery, the doctor will definitely advise against sexual intercourse. Generally speaking, sexual intercourse is allowed three months after delivery. Having sexual intercourse too early is very harmful to women. It will not only leave a root of disease, but in serious cases it may be life-threatening.

3. During the confinement period, mothers should not hold the baby too early. Standing or sitting for a long time is not good. You need to stay in bed to rest. Excessive fatigue will also cause illness.

4. If a mother engages in housework too early, or walks around with a baby for a long time, it will hurt her muscles and bones, causing soreness and swelling in the arms, or joint inflammation. The heavy pressure on the legs will also leave discomfort symptoms, such as frequent numbness and soreness, varicose veins, severe joint wear, etc.

5. It is best for mothers not to watch TV or read books for a long time during the confinement period, and they should avoid being stimulated by strong light. Using your eyes for a long time will cause eye fatigue, leaving you with problems such as blurred vision, easy tearing, and sore eyes.

6. Mothers should be careful not to be exposed to the wind during the confinement period. When it is particularly hot in the summer, they can stay in an air-conditioned room, but not directly facing the wind. You can open windows for ventilation and breathe fresh air, but keep the wind out and ensure circulation.
