Why do I have back pain during the postpartum period?

Many women have to face various problems during the confinement period. Not only do you have to make psychological adjustments when dealing with a newborn, but you also have to deal with all sorts of uncomfortable symptoms in your body after giving birth. During the confinement period, it is easy to suffer from back pain due to various problems. So what exactly causes back pain during postpartum confinement?

The back pain during the confinement period is caused by postpartum back pain and postpartum rheumatism.

1. Wind invading blood vessels type: Clinical manifestations include muscle and joint pain, wandering pain, spontaneous sweating and aversion to wind, with symptoms worsening later, accompanied by headache, dizziness, and pain in the brow bone, which is aggravated by wind. No dry mouth, no desire to drink water, pale tongue with thin white coating, and floating pulse;

2. Cold stagnation blood pulse type: Clinical manifestations include severe pain in the muscles and joints of the limbs accompanied by coldness, fear of cold, symptoms aggravated by cold and alleviated by heat, pale tongue with white coating, and tight pulse.

3. Dampness and blood stasis type: Clinical manifestations include soreness, heaviness, and numbness in the muscles and joints of the limbs, but the location is relatively fixed. The tongue is slightly fat, the tongue coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is soft and slow;

4. Mixed cold and heat type: Clinical manifestations include cold and hot pains in the joints and muscles of the limbs, which come and go, or fear of cold but not cool to the touch, dry mouth; preference for drinking water, irritability, insomnia, dry stool, yellow urine, red tip of the tongue, thin yellow fur and rapid pulse. The characteristics of this type are false cold on the outside and real heat on the inside.

Western medicine has poor efficacy in the treatment of postpartum rheumatism, but symptomatic treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, such as Huatuo Maitong developed by China Medical University, can achieve relatively significant therapeutic effects. However, if the treatment is not timely, the disease will spread from the surface to the inside and from the shallow to the deep, and the prognosis is poor. Some patients may induce other difficult-to-cure diseases. Today's society is constantly progressing, life perspectives are changing, and the number of young women having artificial abortions is increasing. They may not understand postpartum care at all. Some women neglect postpartum rest for fear of affecting their work and study, which greatly increases the chances of these women suffering from postpartum rheumatism. This should be given enough attention. For patients suffering from postpartum rheumatism, I hope you will not be careless and go to a rheumatologist for treatment as soon as possible in order to recover as soon as possible.

After giving birth or having an abortion, mothers should pay attention to avoid catching cold, add or remove clothes in time according to weather changes, do not sweat in the wind, do not wash with cold water or go outdoors in the wind and rain, and use air conditioning with caution in summer.

To sum up, if you have back pain, don't take medicine randomly. And the mother should take good care of herself during the postpartum period. During the confinement period, you need to seriously ensure that your diet is both nutritious and moderate, and you also need to take proper supplements.
