Patient's question:
It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. How can I improve foot soreness and pain while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, pregnant women may experience blood deficiency. Blood deficiency fails to nourish the defensive qi, leading to weakened external defense, making them susceptible to external pathogens such as wind, cold, and dampness. The invasion of these pathogens can cause pain. Herbal steam bathing can be used to expel the pathogens. The herbs used are Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Honghua (Carthamus tinctorius), Niuxi (Astragalus membranaceus), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia divaricata), Aiye (Artemisia argyi), and Huajiao (Zanthoxylum bungeanum), all in equal proportions. Boil the herbs in water, first steam and then bathe, twice daily. Improvement should be seen within two to three days. Generally, doctors advise women with postpartum complications to keep warm and avoid cold exposure. Additionally, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which aids in rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
