What are the remedies for postpartum joint pain?

Many women need to take a confinement period to recuperate after giving birth. They are also prone to some postpartum diseases and joint pain during the confinement period. These are very common. In these cases, you must pay attention to conditioning during the confinement period. Joint pain during confinement is related to many factors, and women must pay attention to targeted remedial methods.

1. Keep warm

Many mothers do not pay attention to the fact that eating cold food or being blown by the wind during the confinement period will cause joint pain. Therefore, mothers must pay attention to not washing with cold water, but using slightly hot water. Some cold fruits should be heated before eating. When it comes to clothing, every dangerous part should be covered, such as the neck, waist, etc. Once you are caught in the wind, you will be the one who suffers.

2. Don’t overwork yourself

Many mothers do not pay attention to bed rest because there is no one to take care of them. They do many things by themselves, such as washing diapers. Some mothers are used to holding their babies while feeding. These will cause joint pain. At this time, the husband must play the role of helping his wife do more things. Mothers should try to let the baby lie down to feed, which will reduce the burden on the waist and avoid back pain. This is something that many mothers regret.

3. Supplement nutrition and calcium

After all, giving birth is something that consumes a lot of mother's physical energy. The hormone levels in the mother's body will undergo new changes. Therefore, after giving birth, you should pay attention to supplementing nutrition so that the body can recover as soon as possible. In addition, proper supplementation of calcium can not only relieve the symptoms of joint pain, but is also excellent for babies who are breastfed.

4. Pay attention to your diet

There are many taboos in diet during confinement. In addition to not eating raw or cold food, mothers should also avoid eating spicy food and not drinking alcohol. Therefore, mothers who love spicy food should be patient for the sake of their own and their babies’ health.

5. Massage

During the confinement period, many mothers are concerned about their breastfeeding babies, so they dare not take medicine. At this time, some effective massages can be performed to relieve the symptoms of joint pain. If your family members don’t know how to do it, many confinement centers provide door-to-door massage services, and you can ask experienced masseurs to perform the massage.
