Patient's question:
Postpartum rheumatism seems to be very easy to get for those who are doing postpartum care. If it occurs, some may not show symptoms during the postpartum period at all. What are the symptoms of postpartum rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum rheumatism is primarily characterized by symptoms such as feeling cold, numbness, and coolness, as well as pain in the spine, large joints, wrists, and other joints. Each patient's condition is different, so the incubation period varies. Postpartum rheumatism is a disease that arises when the body is weak after childbirth or an induced abortion, as a result of exposure to wind, cold, and dampness, which damages the joints, tendons, muscles, skin, and other connective tissues, leading to muscle and joint aches and pain. This condition mainly manifests as pain in the whole body's muscles and joints, fear of wind and cold, and intolerance to physical exertion, but the affected joints and muscles do not show redness or swelling. Postpartum rheumatism is treated with a combination of psychological therapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and massage.
