Patient's question:
My partner only had a child two months ago, but recently she has been experiencing all-over body aches and weakness, especially in her upper body which feels the heaviest. Now, she's even in so much pain that she can't even lift the child. How is postpartum rheumatism treated?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum rheumatism refers to a disease where women experience muscle and joint pain due to rheumatic and cold pathogens after childbirth or induced abortion. The main characteristics of this disease are generalized muscle and joint pain, sensitivity to wind and cold, but the affected joints and muscles do not become red or swollen. Some patients may also experience headaches, dizziness, aversion to wind, orbital pain, dry eyes, and tearing. Some patients may feel a sense of wind in their joints and muscles. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and the condition can be completely resolved. Don't worry too much.In daily life, pay more attention to preventing cold exposure, avoid blowing cold air, drink less cold water, eat fewer raw and cold foods, reduce physical labor, and prioritize rest. At the same time, if you notice further symptoms, you can contact me for treatment. I hope my presence can reduce your suffering even more.
