If you don't take care of your confinement, your whole body will ache. Here's how to fix it

After experiencing the difficult process of pregnancy and childbirth, women’s physical strength is greatly depleted, so they need nutritional supplements during the confinement period. However, some women do not take good care of themselves during the confinement period due to various reasons, and then they will experience body pain in the later stage. This makes women very uncomfortable and will greatly affect their daily life and work. Once these symptoms worsen, they will directly endanger their lives, so it is particularly important to find effective remedies. Medicinal food conditioning and a balanced diet are the most effective methods. At the same time, you need to maintain a relaxed and happy mood. Only when these are done can the damage to a woman's body be effectively restored.

1. What symptoms indicate that the confinement period is not done well?

The purpose of confinement is to repair the physical strength consumed from pregnancy to childbirth, especially the repair of the uterus. When a mother finds that she is easily tired, has a poor memory, has frequent urination, has a prolapsed uterus, has back pain, has a headache, is depressed and other symptoms after the confinement period, in fact, it may be caused by not "sitting" well during the confinement period and the physical strength has not yet recovered. This not only causes many inconveniences in the mother's life, but she may also feel overwhelmed in taking care of the child.

Second, "remedy" the confinement period by doing this

Some mothers, relying on their youth, do not have the patience to take good care of themselves during the confinement period, or they are eager to lose weight right after giving birth and ignore nutritional supplements during the confinement period. As a result, one or two months after giving birth, they still feel very weak and even have problems such as frequent urination, muscle and bone pain, and insomnia. This may be caused by not taking good care of themselves during the confinement period. At this time, they should seek the help of a professional doctor. The six months after childbirth is the golden period for conditioning. For mothers who seek medical treatment because they did not "sit" well after the baby's birth, the doctor will prescribe the right medicine according to the mother's symptoms. If it is a reproductive problem, kidney qi needs to be replenished. If you have back pain, you need to nourish your muscles and bones, or drink Eucommia water. Basically, if you take good care of yourself, you will slowly recover.

Learn how to properly take care of your baby

In the first week after delivery, the mother's body is characterized by "weakness and blood stasis". It is recommended to take Shenghua Tang, which can help discharge lochia and reduce postpartum abdominal pain. The food should be light, such as chicken soup, fish soup, pork rib soup, etc. After using Shenghua Tang to remove blood stasis, you can start replenishing blood in the second week, such as using Jiawei Siwu Tang, Bazhen Tang and other prescriptions to replenish blood or regulate the spleen and stomach, and restore qi and blood throughout the body. In terms of diet, you can start eating sesame oil dishes, such as sesame oil fried pork liver, sesame oil fried pork kidney, etc. However, if the wound is still red, swollen and painful, you should avoid eating sesame oil, food cooked with wine, shrimp and red crab. It is recommended that the mother consult a Chinese medicine practitioner before choosing a suitable prescription.

In addition to medicated diet, you can eat more spinach, cabbage, apples, grapes, milk, eggs, fish and pork liver, etc., and eat a balanced diet. Do not eat spicy, fried and irritating foods, and the ingredients must be cooked and eaten warm. In daily life, you should avoid touching cold water, blowing cold wind, doing things that are too mentally or physically strenuous, and pay attention to the cleanliness of your genitals and anus. As for whether you should not wash your hair or take a bath for a whole month, it depends on your personal constitution. Nowadays, with the help of tools such as hair dryers, you don’t necessarily have to not wash your hair at all, but you should avoid an environment with too large temperature changes.

Some new mothers may suffer from postpartum depression, mostly because they cannot adapt to the role of a mother, or they do not get enough sleep due to breastfeeding, and they worry that they cannot provide the best nutrition for their babies, which makes them fall into depression. Moms should pay attention to nutritional intake, rest when they have time, and relax. Keeping your body healthy is the best way to take care of your baby. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these emotions will also affect the mother's physical condition. Similarly, if the body is unwell, the mother will be depressed, so mothers must not ignore the seriousness of not taking good care of the confinement period.
