Patient's question:
I just had a baby five months ago, and two days before she was due to be two months old, my bilateral knee joints were painful. The pain returned after some time. My left arm was wet with milk and now it's always cold and painful. Can postpartum illnesses heal on their own? Or do they need to be treated with the traditional method of having another baby? At five months, besides soaking in mugwort baths, what else is effective? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Friend, in your case, it is likely that you didn't take good care of yourself during the postpartum period. This should be due to exposure to wind, cold, or some form of strain during the postpartum period. I suggest you pay attention to applying cold compresses and massage. If necessary, you can also combine acupuncture and cupping, which should help.This is the advice for the question "I've been experiencing pain in both knees for two days before my baby is about to complete the full postpartum month after giving birth. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
