Patient's question:
Symptom Description: I have whole-body aches after childbirth.Wandering Treatment history and effect: I have been taking Chinese medicine for over a month.
What kind of help do you want: Is there a good treatment method?
Doctor's answer:
Some women, due to not paying attention to keeping warm during the postpartum period within 100 days, may experience pain or coldness in certain parts of their body. This is not a true case of postpartum wind. In such situations, physical and medicinal treatments can be administered once the qi and blood and the body have fully recovered. However, within the first 100 days, it is strictly forbidden to use any physical treatments, especially acupuncture or cupping, as these can disrupt the body's balance of qi and blood, excessively depleting them, leading to a true case of postpartum wind. Symptoms may include a sudden onset of generalized fear of cold and wind. If this occurs, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention at a formal traditional Chinese medicine hospital to avoid misdiagnosis.Traditional Chinese thought still holds that postpartum illnesses are difficult to treat, but this is not the case. If the correct treatment methods are applied, this condition is actually a common cold that is easily curable and can be fully recovered from within a short period.
