Can the postpartum illness after giving birth to a second child be cured?

The saying that postpartum diseases can be cured during the confinement period is widely circulated. Many people want to cure the postpartum diseases of the first child when they have the second child. Today, the editor will answer this question for you.

What are the diseases of postpartum disease

If the nursing work is not done well within one month after delivery, it is easy to cause postpartum disease. The following are the symptoms of common postpartum disease:

1. Excessive sadness, worry, crying in the wind, and depression can easily lead to liver qi stagnation, which leads to poor blood circulation. Stagnation of qi and blood can easily lead to loss of nutrition, and wind evil can invade carelessly. The clinical symptoms of this confinement disease are: fear of cold, fear of wind, blindness, blurred vision (astigmatism), eye and eye socket pain, migraine, mental confusion, depression. In addition to pain in active joints, there are also factors such as numbness, convulsions, and swelling.

2. During the confinement period, the doors of women's muscles, bones and pores are wide open, and the qi and blood are weak, and the inside and outside are empty. The wind, cold and dampness are accidentally invaded. The clinical symptoms of this confinement disease are: numbness of limbs, difficulty in flexion and extension, headache, dizziness, swelling, dullness, poor appetite, less urination, fear of cold and wind, sweating, pain in joints, and worsening pain when exposed to cold and wind. It is good to wear clothes. Severe patients wear cotton clothes in hot summer. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is "cold evil enters the bone". 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 the muscles, bones and pores are closed, which can wrap the rheumatic cold evil into the body and cannot be discharged. The pathogens stay in the body for a long time, damaging the pores and muscle and bone tissues, 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 sex during the confinement period. Excessive sex will damage the Yin and the essence. The deficiency of Yin and essence will lead to the emptiness of the tendons and bones, and the evil wind can invade. Its main clinical symptoms: in addition to fear of cold and wind, joint pain, it is mainly heaviness, weakness, back pain, fatigue intolerance, and some patients have rheumatism and rheumatoid symptoms. Since confinement disease is very difficult to cure, it is easier to treat during the confinement period. Therefore, once a woman is sick during the confinement period, she must be treated in time, otherwise she will suffer from confinement disease.

If you get sick during the confinement period, don't delay, but take the time to seek treatment and try to cure it during the confinement period, rather than thinking "it can only be cured after another confinement period". If a mother gets sick during the confinement period, she is in the puerperium recuperation and breastfeeding, and the symptoms are mostly mild at the beginning. She often does not pay enough attention to it and does not seek medical treatment in time, inadvertently losing the best time for treatment. In general, Chinese medicine (such as the bone-strengthening confinement prescription) is more recommended because it is safer and more convenient.

Can the postpartum illness after having a second child be cured?

It is very difficult to cure the diseases during the confinement period. During the confinement period, we should have a good attitude and "confinement" scientifically. During the "confinement period", we must pay attention to the following points:

Prevention is the key:

"Confinement" is an extraordinary period. Since the mother's body is already very fragile after giving birth, she must be well protected to avoid unnecessary illnesses.

You have to breastfeed during the confinement period, so not all medicines can be used. If you get sick, some diseases cannot be treated with ordinary medicines.

Early detection and early treatment: No matter what disease you have, you should detect it early and seek medical treatment in time.

Symptomatic treatment: If you are sick, you should go to a regular hospital to see a professional doctor for treatment. Don't seek medical treatment blindly, otherwise you will waste time and energy and delay the disease.

Things to note during confinement

1. Can I eat honey during confinement?

The answer is yes. Honey is a natural food with a sweet taste. The monosaccharides it contains can be absorbed by the human body without digestion, which has a good health care effect on pregnant women. Honey has a relatively high nutritional value and sufficient calories. Pregnant women can drink some honey water after giving birth, which can help them recover their physical strength.

2. Can pregnant women drink milk?

Mothers can drink milk. Milk is called "white blood" and is the best source of calcium in nature. The potassium in milk has a good effect on softening blood vessels and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Milk contains L-tryptophan, which has a good calming effect and is very helpful in promoting sleep. If mothers drink more milk, it can not only help the body recover, but also replenish calcium in the body. If breastfeeding, it can also increase milk and help the baby get high-quality calcium through breast milk. But it should be noted that milk is not easy to digest. Mothers are better off waiting until their intestinal function gradually recovers before drinking it.

3. Can I eat salt during confinement?

It is okay to eat salt in moderation during confinement. Some people believe that women cannot eat salt during confinement because eating too much salt is not good. If women take in too much salt every day, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, cause high blood pressure, and be detrimental to postpartum recovery. But you can't not eat salt. The human body takes in sodium through eating salt. Eating too little salt will affect the absorption of sodium. Not putting salt in dishes will affect the appetite of women, which is not conducive to nutrient absorption. Therefore, women should neither "avoid salt" nor eat too much salt during confinement. Moderate amounts are best.

4. Can I eat vinegar during confinement?

During the confinement period, mothers can eat a small amount of vinegar, but be careful not to eat too much to avoid stomach acid. You can mix some vinegar in dishes to help mothers whet their appetite. Eating vinegar in moderation will not affect breast milk.
