Joint pain all over the body two months after delivery

Many women experience joint pain two to three months after giving birth. Moreover, the painful part of the skin does not have redness, swelling or other phenomena. This condition has a professional medical name - postpartum body pain or postpartum joint pain. In fact, this situation is very common. If a mother wants to relieve joint pain, she can do appropriate exercise and adjust her diet.

reason

The main reason is that the body's blood vessels are empty and the circulation of qi and blood is not smooth during the postpartum period, so the disease is prone to occur if the mother is slightly tired or attacked by wind and cold. Muscle strain caused by the strain of childbirth.

Mitigation methods

If a mother experiences body aches or joint pains, she needs to rest in bed and get enough sleep. The time spent getting out of bed and moving around every day should not be too long, and the intensity should not be too high, so as not to aggravate the symptoms of body aches. The room should be kept dry and ventilated, but the mother should avoid being blown directly by the wind to prevent the invasion of cold wind and worsening of the condition. In addition, mothers should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid sleeping on bamboo mats or cool mats in summer, and the temperature should not be too low when using air conditioning. The bedding and bedding should be kept dry and clean.

Since postpartum mothers' body aches or joint pains are mostly caused by poor blood circulation or exogenous wind-cold, mothers with poor blood circulation should eat more nutritious foods, such as pork liver, mutton, chicken, longan, red dates, red beans, etc.; while mothers with exogenous wind-cold should eat more spicy and warm foods that can dispel the cold, such as ginger, scallion, brown sugar, and some easily digestible fish and meat, and should avoid eating raw and cold foods. If a mother experiences severe joint pain or body aches after delivery, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive relevant treatment under the doctor's guidance.
