Patient's question:
I am a patient with habitual miscarriage. This time, after trying to save the pregnancy, the baby at 21 weeks had to be induced. Three weeks after the induction, I went to the hospital for a check-up. At that time, the wind was strong, and I was blown by the cold air conditioning in the hospital. After coming home, my entire neck went numb with a headache, and I could clearly feel a wind-like sensation moving through my arm and leg joints.Doctor's answer:
Rheumatic diseases are mostly chronic conditions. The goal of treatment is to improve the outcome of the disease, maintain the function of joints and organs, and alleviate related symptoms. The principle of drug therapy is early diagnosis and timely, rational, and combined medication. Additionally, one can consume traditional Chinese medicine that dispels wind and alleviates arthralgia. Generally, doctors recommend bed rest and prohibit sexual activity for patients with signs of postpartum consultation risk. Furthermore, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing patients a healthy delivery.
