What to do if you have postpartum sweating

It is very hard for a woman to be pregnant for ten months, especially the moment of giving birth. The pain a woman endures cannot be expressed in words. After the baby is born, women have to stay in confinement for a month. Their bodies will be very weak and some will even get sick and sweat during the period. So, what should you do if you suffer from postpartum sweating? Let me explain in detail what to do below, I hope it can be helpful to you.

Because the mother needs to supply nutrition to the fetus during pregnancy, the body fluids of the mother are much more than normal. After childbirth, excess body fluids are naturally excreted mainly through sweating. Sweating is a way to eliminate water. If there are no other symptoms, postpartum sweating should be a normal phenomenon. It is common to sweat frequently after childbirth, which is medically known as puerperal sweat. Generally, it only requires proper nutrition and normal breastfeeding. Postpartum sweating, also known as night sweats, is mostly caused by the loss of qi and blood after childbirth, or internal heat due to yin deficiency, imbalance of yin and yang, floating yang and unrestrained sweat, which forces sweat to escape. Postpartum body pain, including joint pain, numbness, heaviness, swelling, lower limb weakness and difficulty walking, is mainly caused by the deficiency of qi and blood after childbirth, and the invasion of wind, cold and dampness.

These can also be treated with diet therapy. Mainly choose foods that can activate blood circulation and dredge collaterals. Such as angelica ginger mutton soup, tiger bone wine, astragalus papaya chicken (duck) foot soup, pepper stewed pig's trotters, ox knee pig tendon soup, mulberry branch and coix seed pig's trotter soup, etc.

After reading the above content, I believe everyone has some understanding of postpartum sweating. If you have postpartum sweating, you should be careful not to catch a cold, so it is best not to go out and stay at home. At the same time, in terms of diet, you need to take supplements but not too much, because it is not without reason that the saying that a weak body cannot be supplemented. Avoid eating raw, cold, fried, and spicy foods, and try to eat more blood-enriching foods. Finally, I hope every mother who is in confinement is in good health!
