Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is postpartum rheumatism caused by a cold?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by wind exposure postpartum, leading to the blockage of meridians. This is a condition that occurs during the period of physical weakness after childbirth or artificial abortion, where exposure to wind, cold, and dampness invades the joints, tendons, muscles, and skin, resulting in symptoms such as muscle and joint aches and pain. It is recommended to use the Guizhi Jia Fuzi Decoction for regulation. During the menstrual period, if you catch a cold or experience emotional instability, it may lead to menstrual disorders. For this condition, it is advisable to take three days of Yimucao (Leonurus japonicus) or brown sugar water for regulation. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining a positive mood. Wishing you good health!
