Numbness in hands and feet after childbirth

After giving birth, a woman's body is in a very weak state, and this is also the time when her health is prone to problems. Many women have experienced numbness in their hands and feet after childbirth. There are many reasons for this symptom. Especially if it occurs frequently and is accompanied by other symptoms, it should be taken seriously and the cause should be actively sought. So, what causes numbness in hands and feet after childbirth? Let’s take a look below.

Numbness in the fingers of parturients may be due to the fact that the body of postpartum women is relatively weak, which is prone to cause some discomfort symptoms, and lack of trace elements, poor nutrition after childbirth, and failure to keep warm can also easily cause such a situation. In addition, some factors of cervical spine disease cannot be ruled out. If the symptoms are not very obvious, it is recommended that you pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition, and keep warm. If the symptoms are more obvious, then you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, make a clear diagnosis, and do not be careless.

It could also be a postpartum disease. Many women experience numbness in their hands during confinement. It is also called postpartum rheumatism. It is a disease characterized by soreness and pain in the muscles and joints caused by wind, cold and dampness when the body is weak after childbirth or abortion, which damages the joints, tendons, muscles, skin and other tissues. Postpartum rheumatism caused by women being blown by wind or exposed to cold water during delivery has symptoms such as long-term pain in the limb joints and obvious pain when the hands come into contact with cold water. The clinical manifestations are: fear of cold and wind, sweating, and joint pain. The pain is aggravated by cold, windy, and rainy weather. Postpartum illness caused by depression may also be accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, convulsions, and swelling; postpartum illness caused by sexual intercourse during the confinement period may also have symptoms such as weakness in the limbs, back pain, and drowsiness; postpartum illness caused by anger may also be accompanied by symptoms such as pain in large and small joints and headache. It is recommended to go to the local Chinese medicine doctor for diagnosis and treatment for better results.

Numbness in maternal fingers is caused by poor physical fitness and insufficient nutrition. After giving birth, you must pay more attention to rest, increase your nutrition in normal times, avoid catching cold, keep warm, and eat more blood-enriching foods. If the cervical spine is not in good condition, it may also cause the cervical spine to compress the nerves and cause numbness in the fingers. The patient is relatively weak after giving birth, so we recommend that you must supplement more nutrition. Maternal fingers numbness can be appropriately supplemented with calcium. Or you can do some simple exercises appropriately to promote blood circulation and avoid numbness in your fingers.

Mothers should face life positively and optimistically, and should eat more calcium-rich foods such as fish, liver, lean meat, fungus, mushrooms, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture treatments are also very good, and you must go to the hospital for regular check-ups. Pay attention to rest and replenish the nutrients needed by the body in time. When you are in a bad mood, you should also know how to adjust yourself. This way you can take care of your children in a better mood.
