From the situation you described, it appears to be a disease characterized by muscle and joint soreness and pain, resulting from the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness during the period of physical weakness after childbirth or artificial abortion, affecting joints, tendons, muscles, and skin.

The diet for postpartum rheumatism should not only be nutritious but also appropriately balanced, ensuring nutritional equilibrium, to benefit the physical and mental health of postpartum rheumatism patients.
