The harm of postpartum disease

In our country, women need to stay in confinement after giving birth, which means they need to rest well within a month, not be exposed to the wind, not eat cold food, and try not to go out. Although this sounds a bit exaggerated, it is very beneficial for the body's recovery and can effectively prevent the occurrence of various diseases. If the confinement period is not taken care of properly, some diseases may occur, so women must learn more about the dangers of confinement diseases.

Postpartum illness requires lifelong care.

If you don't have "postpartum disease," that's something to be envied, but if you want to stay away from it, you still have to be conservative and pay attention to maintenance during the confinement period.

If a woman experiences soreness, pain, or numbness in her limbs or joints during the confinement period, it is called "postpartum body pain," also known as "postpartum wind," or what we often call "confinement disease." This symptom is similar to the rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, postpartum sciatica, polymyositis, and postpartum thrombophlebitis mentioned in Western medicine.

According to modern medicine, a woman's reproductive system, endocrine system, digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, urinary system, nervous system, etc. will undergo some changes after childbirth, and all systems of the body need to be adjusted and recovered; according to traditional Chinese medicine, a woman's body is in a state of "lack of blood and deficiency of qi" after childbirth, so she must be well taken care of.

There has always been a saying among the people that "postpartum diseases can be cured by postpartum confinement". The elderly often say, "If you want to eradicate postpartum diseases, you have to give birth to another child and then go through the confinement period again.

The best time to treat postpartum disease

The best time to treat postpartum disease is to discover the condition and treat it immediately. Mothers may develop postpartum disease during the confinement period, but because they need to rest and breastfeed, plus they are tired after giving birth, they can no longer care too much and do not notice the quiet invasion of postpartum disease. In addition, the early symptoms of postpartum disease are not very obvious, making it even more difficult for mothers to detect. It is often such negligence that leads to the loss of the best treatment time. Once a chronic disease develops, it will be difficult to cure.

As soon as you find something wrong with yourself after giving birth, get checked out right away and receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid extending the condition and delaying the best time for treatment. When a mother finds out that she has postpartum disease, she should not worry too much. What she should do is to actively seek treatment, so that her chances of recovery will be much higher.

Postpartum illness will not follow you for the rest of your life, but you must check and treat it early. What the elderly often say about postpartum illness can be cured during the period is actually wrong. If you get sick during the period, you must seek treatment quickly, seek medical attention in time, strictly follow the doctor's instructions and do not believe in folk remedies. It is difficult to recuperate after the confinement period due to lack of rest. Treatment is not only possible during the confinement period.
