The term "postpartum illness" is also commonly known as "monthly consumption," "postpartum consumption," "monthly injury," "injury during the postpartum period," "postpartum disease," or "dry ear disease," among other names. The terminology varies by region, but all fall under the category of "accumulated postpartum deficiency and consumption" in traditional Chinese medicine. Postpartum illness is often caused by sexual activity during the recovery period after childbirth. If contracted in the early stages, it can lead to wound infection, endometrial hyperplasia, functional bleeding, and the proliferation of numerous pathogens, making it difficult to treat. In the middle stage, symptoms commonly include anemia, irritability, palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, decreased appetite, and weakness in the limbs, as well as swelling in the eyelids and lower legs, abdominal pain, and frequent inflammation of the endometrium, cervix, and adnexa, along with serous cysts. In the later stages, irregularly sized lumps may appear in the lower abdomen, which may be hard and unmovable. If the lumps remain hard and immovable, it may indicate the failure of the spleen and kidneys, leading to persistent diarrhea. In the final stage, severe anemia, extreme weight loss or generalized edema, and heart and kidney failure may occur, resulting in death.
