What are the causes of postpartum rheumatoid arthritis

In addition to genetic factors, the causes of rheumatoid arthritis in pregnant women are also caused by bacteria or viruses. This can be prevented to a certain extent. It is very important for patients to take good care of themselves in life. First of all, they should keep warm, avoid catching cold, and eat more foods rich in vitamins. Because the postpartum constitution is very weak, they should pay attention to care on the one hand, and avoid infection with some bacteria on the other.

(1) The mother consumes a lot of energy during childbirth, and becomes empty inside and out. She will suffer from postpartum rheumatism. Its clinical symptoms are fear of cold and wind, sweating, pain when moving joints, and worsening pain when exposed to cold and wind. She needs to wear more clothes. Severe patients need to wear cotton clothes in hot summer. According to Chinese medicine theory, it is "cold evil enters 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. The tendons, bones and skin 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 and tendons and bones, leading to serious tendon and bone diseases.

(2) Regarding the cause of postpartum rheumatism in women, experts point out that if the patient is in a depressed state for a long time, it will affect the patient's liver, leading to poor blood circulation. Stagnant blood and qi can easily lose nutrition, and wind evil can invade accidentally. Its clinical symptoms are: fear of cold, fear of wind, pain when moving joints, as well as numbness, convulsions, swelling and pain.

(3) It is forbidden for a woman to have sexual intercourse during the confinement period, because frequent sexual intercourse may damage her reproductive organs, hurt her yin and essence. Deficiency of both yin and essence will lead to weakness of tendons and bones, which can allow wind evil to invade. Its main clinical symptoms are: in addition to fear of cold and wind, joint pain, the main symptoms are heaviness, weakness, back pain, sleepiness, pain, and fatigue intolerance. Some patients also have rheumatic and rheumatoid symptoms.

Due to problems with delivery, it is easy to cause postpartum rheumatism, which is very harmful to patients. In addition, there is no complete cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but if good health care and conditioning are carried out, good preventive effects can be achieved, so health care must be done well after delivery.
