Patient's question:
Actively respond to the national response. My husband and I had our second baby, but after giving birth, I couldn't even get out of bed. A thorough examination revealed that it was postpartum rheumatism. I would like to ask the doctor what are the symptoms of postpartum rheumatism. In this case, if acupuncture is used for physical therapy, can it be completely restored?Doctor's answer:
It is important to rest properly after giving birth. If one contracts wind-cold-dampness during the postpartum period, it can easily lead to postpartum rheumatic illness, with postpartum rheumatism being particularly prominent. The main symptoms include recurrent significant wandering joint pain, which becomes more pronounced with changes in the weather. Once diagnosed, active treatment with wind-dispelling and cold-dispelling traditional Chinese medicine or patent medicines is necessary for conditioning, while methods such as moxibustion, hot compresses, and microwave therapy should be combined to enhance blood circulation in the joints.
