Postpartum abdominal pain is caused by the fact that there are many pelvic organs in the lower abdomen of women. When abnormalities occur, it is easy to cause postpartum abdominal pain. Generally speaking, the causes of lower abdominal pain in women can be divided into pain related to the menstrual cycle and pain not caused by the menstrual cycle. Because the uterine fibers of primiparas are relatively tight, uterine contractions are not very strong, and recovery is easy and the time required for recovery is also shorter, and the pain is not obvious. Due to multiple pregnancies, the uterine muscle fibers of multiparas are stretched multiple times, making recovery more difficult. The pain lasts relatively longer and is more severe than that of primiparas.

Postpartum abdominal pain includes abdominal pain and lower abdominal pain, with lower abdominal pain being the most common. Most of them are caused by blood stasis, qi and blood deficiency, or exposure to wind and cold. The main symptom is "occipital pain" caused by postpartum blood stasis (or wind-cold with blood stasis). A hard lump can be felt in the lower abdomen with obvious tenderness. It is often accompanied by sluggish or retained lochia, fullness in the chest and abdomen, and a strong and stringy pulse, which may be more cold or hot. People with qi and blood deficiency are often prone to external wind-cold, and often have abdominal pain that they prefer to feel when heated, but often cannot feel any lumps, dizziness, fatigue, fear of cold, and even palpitations, shortness of breath, pale tongue, and a weak, thin or stringy pulse. If there is blood stasis, the lower abdomen will be hard and painful, and the tongue will be purple.

It refers to the contraction pain caused by the contraction of the uterus after childbirth, also known as "postpartum pain" and "uterine contraction pain". Mild cases do not require treatment and the abdominal pain will gradually disappear.
