The Chinese people attach great importance to the confinement period for women. They are very afraid that if women do not take good care of themselves after giving birth, they may be left with sequelae. So how to treat postpartum diseases?

However, not every postpartum illness is serious, and you need to treat them differently to see which diseases need to be cured as soon as possible to reduce the harm caused by the diseases.

In traditional concepts, confinement refers to a period of one month starting from the first day after delivery. During the period of confinement, women may suffer from "confinement disease" due to their weak bodies after childbirth and susceptibility to cold and evil spirits, as well as the influence of factors such as diet, sleep, and emotions. Regarding the diseases that women suffer from during the confinement period, Director Wang Yong said, "In modern society, because the country advocates giving birth in hospitals, the organic lesions of gynecological reproductive organs during the puerperium have been greatly reduced. Therefore, during the confinement period, most of the problems that remain are functional problems, and there are not many organic diseases."

As for the treatment of postpartum diseases, experts say: "Postpartum, modern medicine calls it the 'puerperium'. The human body condition and body functions during the puerperium are different from those during pregnancy and non-pregnancy except the puerperium. It is a process of transition from normal physiology during pregnancy to non-pregnancy. The functions of various organs are changing. For example, the cardiovascular system, nervous system, reproductive system, endocrine system, etc. will change from a stress state to a normal physiological state. Then some functional diseases caused by this process, such as migraine, etc. When returning to a normal physiological state, some diseases are more difficult to solve. According to Chinese medicine, it is "leaving the root of the disease."

How to treat postpartum diseases during confinement? Experts say that most postpartum illnesses can be slowly recovered through a period of adjustment, so there is no need for excessive treatment, which will lead to adverse consequences.
