Patient's question:
How can postpartum illnesses be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the term "postpartum illness" refers to diseases caused by external pathogens or internal injuries that women experience within one month after childbirth (including miscarriage). If these conditions are not treated during the postpartum period, they may persist as lingering symptoms. Treatment primarily involves traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), focusing on blood-boosting, qi-toning, and-relief, supplemented by acupuncture, cupping, and massage. It is recommended to consult a doctor for pulse diagnosis before receiving a prescription. Generally, doctors advise patients with signs of reproductive health risks to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
