Patient's question:
Expert:Hello!
I would like to ask you a question. Postpartum women often take traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). She was experiencing lower back pain and poor complexion after giving birth, so she consulted a doctor who prescribed TCM for her. After taking it, her lower back pain subsided, and her complexion improved. Do you think this medicine would be suitable for someone who has had a miscarriage?
I also have another question: Why do I have a slight lower back ache after this period? Previously, this pain only occurred on the first or second day of my period. But this time, even after the period ended, my lower back still hurts! Expert, why is that? I had an abortion on October 4th.
Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that body constitution is formed congenitally, but it is also closely related to postnatal conditioning. There are three important golden periods in a woman's life for tonifying her body constitution: adolescence, menopause, and the postpartum period, also known as the "sitting the month" stage. If you missed the adolescent period, make up for it during the postpartum period. Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum consultation risks should maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing patients a healthy delivery.
