Treatment of postpartum disease

Postpartum diseases are some sequelae caused by women not taking good care of their bodies during the confinement period. Many postpartum diseases will accompany women for a lifetime. If you want to properly alleviate their physical condition, you need to adopt dietary relief methods, such as pig kidney soup. This soup can improve your physical fitness after drinking it.

How to treat postpartum disease

1. Pork Kidney Soup: Pork kidney, glutinous rice, angelica, anemarrhena, scallion and peony. Treats postpartum kidney deficiency and pain in the limbs. Preparation method: Boil pig kidneys in 1200-1300 ml of water. When the water is reduced to 800-700 ml, remove the pig kidneys and add other medicines. Cook over low heat until the water reaches 400-300 ml, then stop cooking and take it all at once.

2. Job's tears porridge contains Job's tears kernel, mint, schizonepeta and fermented black beans, which can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, dispel wind and remove dampness. It is used to treat rheumatism that blocks the meridians and causes pain all over the body, spasms in the tendons and veins, and difficulty in flexing and stretching. Preparation method: Wash the schizonepeta, mint, scallion and fermented black beans, put them into a clean pot, add 1500 ml of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, filter the juice and remove the residue, put the coix seeds into a casserole, add the medicinal liquid, and cook until the coix seeds are cracked and crispy.

3. Shengdi porridge contains raw rehmannia and rice, which nourish yin and produce body fluid, and is suitable for patients with yin deficiency and arthralgia. Preparation method: Chop the raw land into small pieces, boil it with appropriate amount of water for about half an hour to extract the juice, and boil it again for the second time. Combine the two liquid medicines, remove the residue, and concentrate to about 100 ml for later use.

After giving birth, it takes women 6 weeks to return to normal physical condition due to the physical changes caused by pregnancy and the physical loss, bleeding and other symptoms caused by childbirth. This period of time is called the puerperium. If you don’t take care of yourself properly during this period, you may develop postpartum diseases. During delivery, if the mother suffers from vaginitis in the late stage of pregnancy, has taken a bath or has a history of sexual intercourse shortly before delivery, or the items used by the mother, especially the perineal pad, are not clean, or the midwife has a weak concept of aseptic operation and has too many vaginal examinations, etc., it is easy to cause puerperal infection. After childbirth, the mother's cervix, vagina and vulva may suffer varying degrees of damage, especially the placenta attachment in the uterine cavity, which inevitably leaves a large wound.

This provides a pathway for pathogens to cause postpartum infection. In addition, certain abnormal pregnancy and delivery conditions, such as anemia, premature rupture of membranes, postpartum hemorrhage, etc., may lead to a decrease in the body's immunity, and also create conditions for the growth and reproduction of postpartum pathogens. 1. Loss of body fluid and blood. Due to the exertion of childbirth, sweating, birth injuries or excessive blood loss, the yin and blood become suddenly deficient. In addition, if the postpartum care is not careful, it will lead to loss of body fluid and blood, and the dispersion of yang qi. 2. Internal obstruction due to blood stasis, deficiency of vital energy after childbirth, weak qi and blood, qi stagnation and blood deficiency; or emptiness of all meridians after childbirth, susceptibility to external evil, cold evil takes advantage of the weakness to enter the body, blood is coagulated by cold, resulting in poor flow of lochia, retention and formation of blood stasis; or due to qi stagnation and blood stasis before childbirth, resulting in internal obstruction due to blood stasis; or due to blood stasis caused by residual turbid blood after childbirth, or residual placenta or infection with evil toxins, all of which can lead to internal obstruction due to blood stasis and septicemia.

Due to the six external evils or the injuries caused by diet, sexual intercourse, etc., the Qi and blood are damaged after childbirth, the vital energy is damaged, and the positive energy is weakened, which is the so-called "empty meridians after childbirth". Due to physical weakness, the slightest touch, or improper conditioning during and after childbirth, may lead to organ dysfunction and various diseases. In short, postpartum diseases are mainly caused by "deficiency" and "stasis", so there is a saying that "postpartum women are mostly deficient and have more stasis".
