How to treat rheumatism caused by confinement?

The reason why many young people today lack sufficient social experience is that society is changing too fast, and young people simply do not take the experience passed down by the older generation seriously. Take the issue of confinement after childbirth for example. Some young women are always self-righteous and do not listen to the advice of the older generation, which results in them suffering from confinement diseases. Postpartum rheumatism is common in many women who have just given birth. So, how to treat rheumatism after the confinement period?

Postpartum rheumatism, also known as "confinement disease", is generally difficult to treat. Some patients may develop rheumatoid disease, while most patients may have the disease for life. Some people may develop bone hyperplasia starting at the age of 35, causing great pain to the patients. Therefore, early treatment of postpartum rheumatism is very important. How to treat postpartum rheumatism? There are several points:

1. Emotional conditioning

Be happy physically and mentally, and avoid tension, anxiety, irritability and depression.

2. Exercise appropriately

Walk slowly, do exercises, and do boxing to increase the body's resistance. Spend some time outdoors in the sun to prevent calcium deficiency.

3. Diet adjustment

Eat more foods that are easy to digest and rich in nutrients, avoid cold foods and cold drinks; avoid spicy and greasy foods.

4. Daily life

Pay attention to keeping warm after delivery, do not let cold wind blow directly on your body, do not come into contact with cold water; avoid moisture. Avoid overexertion.

Can postpartum rheumatism be cured?

Regarding postpartum rheumatism, Western medicine generally classifies it as joint pain, for which Western medicine has no drugs or methods to treat it.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of more than 3,000 years in treating postpartum rheumatism. In addition to the method of removing evil and curing arthritis, it also pays attention to invigorating qi and nourishing blood, tonifying the liver and kidneys. It believes that medicines should be tonic but not too stagnant, wind medicines should not be too pungent, dampness-eliminating medicines should not be too harsh and dry, and blood and flesh medicines should be affectionate but not too greasy. The treatment method commonly used is nourishing blood, activating blood circulation, warming the meridians, dispersing cold and removing dampness. At the same time, nourishing blood is the main focus, while slightly promoting blood circulation. Do not use strong wind-clearing drugs.

Patients may need acupuncture, massage, medicated diet and other treatments at the same time to achieve a synergistic effect. You need to improve your physical fitness through exercise to prevent recurrence.

If postpartum rheumatism is treated properly, the symptoms can be basically relieved in 1-3 months and can be cured, but it will relapse, so good maintenance is required.
