How to treat night sweats during lactation

Women who are breastfeeding have relatively poor physical constitutions. They have to breastfeed their children every day and sometimes they may experience night sweats. This indicates that your physical condition is relatively poor. During this period, you must pay attention to getting more rest, maintaining a good attitude, and strengthening your diet. If the symptoms are more serious, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Causes of postpartum night sweats

The phenomenon of night sweats after childbirth is caused by the weak body of the mother. During the delivery process, Qi and blood are depleted and the body appears very weak. Qi deficiency causes weak Wei Yang and loose pores, resulting in the inability of Yang to restrain Yin, causing Yin fluid to leak out and spontaneous sweating. If the mother's body is deficient in yin and the blood loss during delivery damages the yin, the yin blood will become further deficient, the yin deficiency will give rise to internal heat, the yang will take over the yin during sleep, the heat will force the body fluids to leak out, and this will cause night sweats after delivery.
