Why can't postpartum disease be cured?

After a woman gives birth, her pores are wide open and her body is empty inside and out. Therefore, if she does not take good care of herself, she is easily invaded by diseases. The diseases contracted during the confinement period are commonly known as postpartum diseases.

Can postpartum disease be cured?

If you get sick during the confinement period, do not delay, but seize the time to seek treatment and try to cure it during the confinement period, instead of thinking "it can only be cured after another confinement period". If a mother gets sick during the confinement period, she often does not pay enough attention to it and does not seek medical treatment in time because she is recuperating and breastfeeding her baby. In addition, the symptoms are mostly mild at the beginning. She inadvertently loses the best time for treatment and waits until the disease becomes serious before treating it. In this way, the difficulty of curing is naturally much greater. If you accidentally get "postpartum disease", don't worry or be afraid. First of all, you should seek medical attention in time and go to a regular hospital to find a professional doctor for treatment. Never delay diagnosis and treatment.

Because it is easier to treat a disease in its early stages, but once it develops into a chronic disease, it will be difficult to cure, and the difficulty of treatment will increase greatly. It may also lead to long-term suffering and difficulty in relief. If a mother suffers from systemic joint pain during the confinement period, she should persist in the treatment under the guidance of a specialist with a combination of treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and physical exercise. She must not lose confidence, stop treating from time to time, or pin her hopes on the unscientific method of "giving birth again", which may lead to another misunderstanding and the development of new diseases without curing the old ones.

How to treat postpartum disease

1. Early detection and early treatment

During the month of confinement, no matter what disease you have, you should discover it early and seek medical treatment in time.

Do not overeat or starve, do not eat raw, cold or spicy food, and do not go on a diet for fear of obesity. Eat more milk, rice bran, bran, carrots and other foods rich in vitamins C, D and B vitamins, increase the proportion of vegetarian food in the diet, and avoid osteoporosis caused by low back pain.

4. Rest, recuperation and exercise

If you have always been in good health and fatigue has been eliminated, you can get up 24 hours after giving birth. As for the amount of activity after getting up, it should be increased slowly. On the first day after getting up, sit by the bed for half an hour in the morning and evening. On the second day, you can walk around the room, and then gradually increase the range and time of activities.
