Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife gave birth to our second child a year ago. Although we took good care of her after the birth, she still has many health issues. Until now, she often experiences cold pain in her shoulders and internal cold pain on the left side of her waist. My mother-in-law says this is postpartum wind. Can postpartum wind be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, if it is a recurrence after childbirth, it is related to overwork, fatigue, and lifestyle habits, excluding catching a cold. Chinese medicine treatment can be considered. Generally, it involves clinical diagnosis, with ginger slices being a common choice. Additionally, Chinese medicine that tonifies the kidneys can be used to alleviate this condition, as it is also related to a constitutionally weak kidney. It is important to pay attention to preventing colds, promoting blood circulation, and supplementing iron and qi.
