Patient's question:
Doctor. Hello. I started experiencing back pain two months after giving birth, and it has persisted for more than half a year now. Sometimes my forearms to fingers and my calves to toes also feel numb and painful. I also have a headache, and my eyes sometimes hurt when I look left and right. Is this something that happened during postpartum recovery? Can it be treated? Which department should I go to? I urgently need a reply. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
This is due to blood loss and Qi consumption during childbirth, combined with exposure to cold pathogens, which leads to this symptom. The symptom is a postpartum joint pain of the blood deficiency and cold type, which can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine formulas such as An Guo Zi Jin Wan, Fu Gui Zi Jin Wan, or Tai Chan Jin Wan. Generally, your symptoms can be cured.Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum complications should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
