Patient's question:
Expert:Hello!
I would like to ask you a question. Postpartum women often take traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). She was experiencing lower back pain and poor complexion after giving birth, so she consulted a doctor who prescribed TCM for her. After taking it, her lower back pain subsided, and her complexion improved. I was wondering if this kind of medicine would be suitable for women who have had miscarriages?
Another question: Why do I have a slight lower back ache after this period? Previously, this pain only occurred on the first or second day of my period. But this time, even after the period ended, my lower back still hurts! Expert, why is this happening? I had an abortion on October 4th.
Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that body constitution is formed congenitally, but it is also closely related to post-natal conditioning. There are three important golden periods in a woman's life for tonifying her body constitution: adolescence, menopause, and the postpartum period, also known as the "sitting the month" stage after giving birth. If you missed the golden period of adolescence, take advantage of the postpartum period to nourish your body.
