Why do calf muscles swell after childbirth

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 coldness. Please tell me why my legs are swollen after giving birth.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation is considered to be possible with nephritis or nephrotic syndrome. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination to confirm, and then adopt a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, which is more effective. Regular follow-up is necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and preventing colds.
The darkening of menstrual blood is related to qi stagnation and blood stasis, as well as your reduced menstrual flow. Due to the smaller volume of blood, it stays in the vagina for a longer time, and the vaginal environment is acidic, causing the blood to darken. It is recommended to take Yimucao ointment and Fuzhu'yuan pills. In your daily life, pay more attention to rest, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat more light and fresh foods, and reduce the intake of greasy foods. Engage in more exercise, solve problems gradually, and maintain a good and cheerful mood.
