What are the common postpartum diseases?

Many people are very careful during the confinement period, fearing that they will suffer from confinement diseases if they are not careful. If they suffer from confinement diseases during the confinement period, it will be very bad for their body. Confinement diseases will affect their future life and cause many disadvantages in life. Many people do not take regular care during the confinement period, so they will suffer from confinement diseases in the long run. So what are the common confinement diseases?

1. Excessive sadness, worry, crying in the wind, and depression can easily cause liver qi stagnation, leading to poor blood circulation. Stagnation of qi and blood can easily lead to loss of nutrition, and wind evil can invade accidentally. The clinical symptoms of this postpartum disease are: fear of cold, fear of wind, blindness, blurred vision (astigmatism), pain in the eyes and eye sockets, migraine, trance, and depression. In addition to pain when moving joints, there are also numbness, twitching, swelling and pain.

2. During the confinement period, women's muscles, bones and pores are wide open, 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 of this confinement disease are: numbness of limbs, difficulty in flexion and extension, headache, dizziness, swelling, stiffness, poor appetite, little and astringent urination, fear of cold and wind all over the body, sweating, pain when moving joints, and aggravated pain when exposed to cold and wind. They need to wear more clothes. Severe patients need to wear cotton clothes in hot summer. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is "cold evil entering the bones." One reason 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 pores are closed, which can trap rheumatism and cold evil into the body and prevent them from being expelled. The pathogenic factors stay in the body for a long time, damaging the skin, muscles and bones, and leading to serious muscle and bone diseases.

3. Anemia caused by excessive blood loss after childbirth and intrauterine blood congestion can cause postpartum diseases such as physical weakness, dizziness, abdominal pain, and back pain.

4. 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 include fear of cold and wind, and joint pain, as well as heaviness of the whole body, weakness, back pain, and fatigue intolerance. Some patients also have rheumatic and rheumatoid symptoms. Since postpartum diseases are very difficult to cure, they are easier to treat during the confinement period. Therefore, once a woman becomes ill during the confinement period, she must seek timely treatment, otherwise she will suffer from postpartum diseases.

These are the common postpartum diseases, which can actually be prevented and controlled during the confinement period. Postpartum diseases are caused by many people not paying attention during the confinement period, which leads to catching colds. This makes it easy for the body to suffer from some diseases. During the confinement period, you must take good care of your diet for a long time, eat light food, and avoid contact with cold water.
