Patient's question:
Only ten days after giving birth, I'm still recovering at my mother's place. Yesterday, my mom turned on the heater quickly because she was afraid I'd get cold. But the air conditioner in my room broke down, and it was blowing cold air instead. When I came out of the bath, I suddenly felt extremely cold all over. By the time I got home, my back had already started to feel cold, and I think I've caught postpartum wind.What kind of help I need: What should I do about postpartum wind?
Doctor's answer:
Mothers should pay attention to ventilation. Ventilation is very important for mothers. Some people think that mothers are most afraid of wind and say that wind is postpartum wind. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, and it is completely unrelated. The wind in nature has fresh air, and indoor air can prevent the rampant spread of bacteria during production, which is an important measure to prevent colds, infections, etc. The culprit of postpartum wind is the pathogenic bacteria hidden in the reproductive organs of the mother. They mostly come from pre-natal examinations with poor sterilization or unclean production tools and equipment, or the mother not paying attention to postpartum hygiene. Windproof measures not only cannot prevent diseases but may also lead to blood loss.
