Doctor's answer:
Hello: Postpartum wind does not exist as a condition in Western medicine, so it is recommended that you actively go to the hospital for blood tests to rule out any symptoms of rheumatism. Therefore, it is advisable to actively check for a definitive diagnosis and then use Western medicine for active treatment. Generally, doctors will advise women with postpartum consultation risks to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
