Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please tell me what the symptoms are if I catch a cold during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum Rheumatic Disease, also known as "Postpartum Wind" or "Postpartum Illness," is a condition that affects women during and after childbirth. Due to the body's openness of muscles and tendons, weakness, and internal and external emptiness, if carelessly exposed to wind and cold, it can be caused by wind-damp-cold pathogens, leading to symptoms primarily characterized by muscle and joint aches and pain. Some patients may also experience headaches, dizziness, aversion to wind, pain around the orbits, dry eyes, and excessive tearing.
