Patient's question:
After giving birth, I experienced dizziness a couple of times during postpartum recovery. After the postpartum period, I've been frequently experiencing dizziness and headaches. A while ago, I visited a doctor who prescribed Brain Vessel Pain Capsules and many other medications. After taking them, the dizziness increased, but I still occasionally feel dizzy. Currently, I have pain in my temples, and one side of my neck hurts when touched but not when moving. In addition to the widespread pain on the top of my head, I had a thorough check-up a year or two ago, which showed no issues. Previously, the doctor recommended checking my cervical spine, suspecting that it might be nerve compression.Besides, since giving birth, it has been over 100 days, and my lochia has been continuous. Before, it stopped after 10-20 days, but now it's releasing a lot of yellowish and light brown discharge. At 50 days, an ultrasound revealed pelvic effusion. The doctors are unsure whether my dizziness and headaches are caused by cervical issues, pelvic effusion, or postpartum qi deficiency. How should I treat this, or which type of doctor should I consult to comprehensively evaluate and treat both problems?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, as you mentioned this situation, you should go to the hospital for a detailed and thorough examination. Have a complete blood count test to check for anemia. Conduct a thorough examination of the cervical spine to see if there are any issues. Pelvic effusion generally does not affect other aspects, and treatment should be carried out based on the examination results. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if I've had a few dizzy spells since giving birth and during postpartum recovery?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
