What are the symptoms of postpartum dampness?

Many mothers have reported that they feel their bodies are not as good as before after giving birth. It is not that they hurt here and feel uncomfortable there. This seems to be a defect of the mother. How could this kind of problem occur? That is because after giving birth, the mother not only has to take care of the baby during the confinement period, but also has to face the problem of breastfeeding. If you don't sleep well during the confinement period, your nutrition is not good, and you don't take the taboos seriously, it is easy to catch a cold after giving birth.

Regardless of whether you choose natural birth or caesarean section, the body will have a lot of moisture after giving birth and must face the problem of dehumidification. Heavy moisture in the body can cause a series of diseases that are difficult to correct. Therefore, mothers should not ignore it. If your body has these symptoms, it means that there is too much moisture in the body and you need to take good care of it!

1. Oily hair: Many mothers find that their hair becomes more and more oily after giving birth. Sometimes their hair becomes very oily just one or two days after washing. If your hair was not like this before giving birth, but becomes like this after giving birth, it means that your body has too much moisture. No matter how many shampoos you use, they are all ineffective. It’s better to remove the moisture first!

2. Thick and greasy tongue coating: Thick and greasy tongue coating is a classic manifestation of dampness, which often occurs when the body has not yet shown obvious disease trends. It is more accurate to look at the tongue coating in the morning just after waking up.

3. Indigestion: If the mother often feels chest tightness, abdominal distension, and poor appetite in daily life, the food she eats cannot be digested and absorbed, which is also a manifestation of heavy moisture in the body.

4. Joint pain: If the body has already eroded the joints, the joints will also have certain symptoms. Part of the blood circulation is not smooth, and there will be heavy pain in the joints of the limbs, poor flexion and extension of the joints, etc.

5. Poor complexion: People with too much moisture are often accompanied by symptoms such as dark yellow complexion, swollen eyelids, and severe dark circles, which make people feel as if they are ten years older. All mothers have to take care of their babies in the first year after giving birth, and they are prone to poor rest and excessive fatigue, which will also aggravate dampness and cold.

6. Poor skin: Many mothers with too much moisture are prone to some skin diseases, which are also caused by internal moisture. Some mothers with too much moisture in their body will also cause endocrine imbalance and cause acne on their faces. At this time, they must avoid eating some acne-causing foods, especially seafood, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

After giving birth, the mother's body is damp, so she needs to take care of herself and do a good job of removing moisture. First, the diet should be light, moderate and balanced, and eat less high-calorie food, desserts, and cold food. You can drink some barley and red bean porridge and winter melon porridge every day to remove dampness and cold; second, exercise regularly. Most mothers with heavy dampness in the body are those who lack exercise, but the more they like to exercise, the more dampness accumulated in the body. Over time, it will inevitably cause the dampness in the body to attack the liver and cause symptoms of cold and dampness. Regular exercise can speed up the discharge of moisture from the body. Jogging, brisk walking, swimming and other fitness exercises are beneficial to activate blood circulation and improve body water metabolism.

Mothers, compare the above six points and make sure to take care of your healthy body! Only with good health can you take better care of your children and live a happier life.
