How to prevent postpartum diseases in women

For women, after giving birth, on the one hand they are immersed in the happiness of having a baby, but on the other hand they are faced with the distress of a month of recuperation. Everyone knows that if you don’t get enough rest during the confinement period, it is easy to suffer from confinement disease. This disease cannot be cured overnight, so many women want to ask how to prevent postpartum disease?

1. Prevention of postpartum diseases

1. During the confinement period, the doors of women's muscles, bones and skin are wide open, and their qi and blood are weak, and they are empty inside and outside. They are easily invaded by wind, cold and dampness. The clinical symptoms are fear of cold and wind all over the body, sweating, pain when moving joints, and worsening symptoms when exposed to cold and wind. Traditional Chinese medicine theory calls it "cold evil entering the bones". One of the reasons why it is difficult to treat is that women have a natural recovery period of 100 days during the confinement period, and their muscles, bones and skin are closed, so rheumatism and cold evil can be wrapped into the body and cannot be discharged. The pathogenic factors stay in the body for a long time, damaging the skin and muscle and bone tissues, leading to serious muscle and bone diseases.

2. Depression can easily cause liver qi stagnation, leading to poor blood circulation. Stagnant qi and blood can easily lead to loss of nutrition, and wind evil can invade accidentally. Its clinical symptoms are: fear of cold, fear of wind, pain in moving joints, as well as numbness, convulsions, swelling and pain.

3. Women are forbidden to have sexual intercourse during the confinement period. Excessive sexual intercourse will damage the yin and essence. Deficiency of both yin and essence will lead to emptiness of tendons and bones, which allow wind evil to invade. Its main clinical symptoms are: fear of cold and wind, and joint pain, as well as heaviness and weakness of the whole body, back pain, sleepiness, pain, and fatigue intolerance. Some patients also have rheumatic and rheumatoid symptoms.

4. People who are impatient are prone to get angry, while people who think too much will secretly consume yin blood. The former's angry fire can damage yin and cause internal wind, while the latter's yin blood will secretly consume internal heat and cause blood dryness. According to Chinese medicine theory, "blood deficiency causes wind", which is a kind of wind caused by the failure of blood to nourish the muscles and bones, that is, rheumatoid arthritis. The specific clinical symptoms are pain in all joints of the body, headache or local pain. Some patients are accompanied by fear of cold and wind, general discomfort and edema when it is cloudy and rainy. Severe cases may lead to edema all over the body. Long-term improper treatment can lead to severe rheumatism and late-stage rheumatoid arthritis.

2. Treatment of postpartum disease

1. Early detection and early treatment

During the month of confinement, no matter what disease you have, you should discover it early and seek medical treatment in time. If some women have persistent fever after delivery, it is necessary to find out the cause and be alert to possible infectious lesions in the body, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, mastitis, inflammation of the episiotomy wound or cesarean section wound, etc. Once diagnosed, effective anti-infection treatment should be carried out in time. If you do not take it seriously and mistakenly think it is a common cold and do not seek medical treatment in time, the inflammation will spread or become a chronic lesion, and the course of the disease will easily migrate or even become incurable.

2. Symptomatic treatment

Whether it is normal or during the "confinement period", if you get sick you should go to a regular hospital to see a professional doctor for treatment. However, if one blindly seeks medical treatment, is keen on folk remedies and secret recipes, or takes it for granted to buy medicines on his own, etc., it is possible to delay diagnosis and treatment, causing the disease to become chronic and long-term. If you have already suffered from the so-called "postpartum disease" such as low back pain, you should be treated under the guidance of a specialist with a combination of medication, physical therapy, physical exercise, etc.

I hope female friends can learn more about how to prevent postpartum diseases in women. This will be of great help if you encounter this situation in the future.
