What are the remedies for not taking good care of the confinement period?

Some young women are often not careful enough during the confinement period. They always think that their health is fine, so they often do some wrong things. In fact, no matter which woman, there are many things to pay attention to during the confinement period, such as not crying, hands and feet cannot touch cold water, especially the head cannot be exposed to cold wind, etc. In addition, many things should be eaten less or not eaten, especially those cold foods, which are very harmful to health. The most important thing is that some wrong practices will cause confinement diseases, which will accompany women for a long time or even for life. So the question is, if a woman does not do a good job of confinement, what are the remedies in the future?

First, if you don’t do your confinement well, you still have a chance to make up for it

Eastern culture places great emphasis on health preservation, and confinement after childbirth has become an established tradition. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that childbirth and pregnancy take a lot of toll on the mother's body, so she needs to get enough rest and recuperation after childbirth. From clinical experience, if the confinement period is not properly taken care of, mothers can easily discover postpartum weakness and discomfort by themselves. For example, when a mother feels that her physical condition after childbirth is different from that before pregnancy and she feels uncomfortable, she needs to pay attention to whether she has not taken good care of herself during the confinement period. Fortunately, all of this is still in time to remedy and treat. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if postpartum symptoms occur, seeking treatment from a trusted traditional Chinese medicine practitioner as soon as possible can greatly alleviate the symptoms after conditioning.

Second, symptoms of illness during menstrual period

For women, menstruation is a good indicator for observing personal physical condition. If you did not take good care of your body last month, menstrual discomfort next month will be particularly obvious. If the postpartum confinement is not done well, the symptoms of postpartum discomfort are also particularly easy to manifest during the menstrual period, such as: headaches before menstruation, easy colds or particularly sore waist, etc. Menstruation is like a small production, and the body is in a state of change. Although there is no fertilized egg, estrogen and progesterone will still decrease, followed by the shedding of the endometrium and the elimination of blood stasis. Therefore, women's bodies are relatively sensitive during menstruation, and signs of illness that were not taken care of during the postpartum confinement period will also be easily discovered at this time.

If you miss the confinement period and want to repair your body, the monthly menstrual period is the right time. If you cannot wait until the confinement period for the next baby, you can take good care of your body during the monthly menstrual period and gradually repair your body functions in "installment payments". The method is actually not far from the principles of confinement. Not only do you need to take care of your body, you also need to take care of your emotions and avoid stress and fatigue.

Third, remedial measures for postpartum care that is not done well

1. Menstrual care

During the monthly menstrual period when the endometrium is shed and blood is discharged, in addition to paying attention to diet and nutrition, not overwork, avoiding stress, getting enough sleep and avoiding strenuous exercise, it is also recommended to eat more blood-enriching foods.

2. Chinese medicine conditioning

Taking Chinese medicine during menstruation, as diagnosed by a Chinese medicine practitioner, can expel evil wind from the body and regulate the meridians. After menstruation, you can also take Siwu Decoction, Bazhen Decoction or Shiquan Dabu Decoction according to your personal constitution. The method of taking it is for 3 consecutive days after the menstrual period, once in the morning and once in the evening. If you take concentrated scientific Chinese medicine powder, it is recommended to take it for 1 week, 3 times a day. In addition, because everyone's physical condition is very different, not everyone is suitable for drinking Siwu Decoction or Shiquan Dabu Decoction. It is recommended to take it according to the instructions of a Chinese medicine practitioner.

3. Avoid cold drinks

Frequent consumption of raw and cold food can directly affect the uterus, causing uterine cold or poor contraction, making it impossible for menstrual blood to be completely discharged. It is recommended to eat raw and cold food occasionally, and try to eat foods such as fruits or lettuce salads after 10 am and before 4 pm.

4. Avoid direct cold wind

In addition to avoiding direct exposure to fans and air conditioners, getting caught in the rain or wading in water during menstruation can also allow cold air to invade. Especially in summer, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is extremely large. It is recommended to bring an extra small jacket when going out to reduce the discomfort caused by the temperature difference.

5. Avoid staying up late

The functioning of hormones is closely related to adrenaline. Staying up late will cause excessive secretion of adrenaline, which may cause a burden on the body and affect the normal functioning of hormones. Try to go to bed before 11 o'clock.

6. Moderate exercise

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the meridians are unobstructed, the body's functions will easily return to balance. Moderate exercise can help blood circulation and keep the meridians unobstructed. As long as the meridians are unobstructed, the nutrients from food can be delivered to where they should go in the body, and waste will be smoothly transported out of the body.

7. Take a bath or soak your feet

@内: Taking a bath or soaking your feet can promote blood circulation and help the body's metabolism. However, since taking a bath or soaking your feet can easily cause sweating, it causes the body to lose more body fluids and puts a greater burden on the heart. Therefore, taking a bath is not recommended if you feel weak.

8. Brown sugar ginger soup

Drink a cup of brown sugar ginger juice (150cc~240cc) every day, especially during menstruation, not only can it replenish trace minerals, but also can keep the body warm. It is recommended that the best time to drink it is every morning, and avoid drinking it at night to avoid affecting sleep. However, it should be limited to 1 cup per day, otherwise drinking more may cause getting a sore throat.
