Patient's question:
I am a mother of a seven-month-old baby, and I am breastfeeding. Recently, for the past few days, I haven't been able to sleep well around 2 or 3 in the morning after feeding the baby. I always struggle to get up in the morning, and my calves also feel sore. Occasionally, I experience dizziness during the day. My body is generally healthy, and the baby is well-behaved. Additionally, I don't work, and my mother-in-law handles the household chores. Why is this happening? I am 27 years old, gave birth naturally, and used to be in good health. I had mild cervical erosion in the past. Could it have worsened?Doctor's answer:
This condition may be caused by anemia, which should be relatively serious. It is important to pay close attention to the check-up. You can have a blood test to determine if there is anemia. The best treatment for anemia is dietary therapy. Eat more iron-rich foods, add more nutrients, and pay attention to observation. When necessary, oral liquid Ejiao or Qi-boosting and blood-nourishing granules can be taken to treat anemia. Persist in taking the medication, and the symptoms should gradually improve. Regular follow-up is recommended. Wishing you good health.
