Patient's question:
I am a 32-year-old woman who has been postpartum for two years. When I feel down or am slightly tired, I get dizzy, my legs feel weak, and I feel completely exhausted. My heart sometimes skips a beat, my head hurts very badly, and the wind makes my bones ache. I have almost lost my ability to earn money and can only make a bowl of food for myself. I also have a herniated intervertebral disc.Doctor's answer:
Consider postpartum hemorrhage as a possible cause of postpartum illness, anemia, and lumbar disc herniation. Chronic bleeding can lead to anemia, which may result in symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, weakness in the hands and feet, general fatigue, and headaches. Currently, hospitalization is required for comprehensive health examinations, starting with the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. It is recommended to rest, maintain a balanced diet, and follow up at the hospital for further detailed examinations, including blood tests, electrocardiograms, and ultrasound, to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment.
