What causes postpartum urticaria? These may be the reasons!

Urticaria is the well-known hives. The most direct manifestation is the appearance of wheals on the patient's skin, accompanied by an itchy feeling. Some patients will experience edema. In severe cases, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache may occur. If urticaria occurs in postpartum women, the reasons may be as follows.

1. Decreased immunity

The main cause of urticaria is a skin disease caused by the weakening of the human body's immune system. The mother's immune system will be reduced after childbirth, and many body functions will undergo drastic changes, and the ability to resist viruses will become very poor.

2. Dampness and heat in the internal organs

If a woman has a large amount of dampness and heat accumulated in her body before delivery, the dampness and heat will suddenly burst out after the rapid exercise after delivery, and the symptom of the outbreak will be urticaria on the skin.

3. Eating habits

The cause of urticaria is closely related to eating habits. Because the diet of postpartum mothers is mostly meat-based, and even no vegetarian dishes are seen, a large amount of vitamins are deficient in the body. In addition, a large amount of chicken, eggs and other allergenic foods are consumed, which will cause postpartum urticaria.

4. Big mood swings

Firstly, a mother's physical condition changes after childbirth, and secondly, her mood also changes greatly. Many mothers become very depressed and distressed due to the expectations before childbirth and the difficulty in facing a new life after childbirth. They have no place to vent, and the depression accumulates in their hearts, leading to a very bad mood. Many studies have shown that mental stress is closely related to urticaria.
