1. What is postpartum wind

Postpartum wind is also called confinement disease. The symptoms are similar to rheumatism and rheumatoid diseases. The joints throughout the body are in unbearable pain. The pain symptoms will be aggravated by cold or wind. Postpartum diseases are indeed more effective if they are treated during the confinement period. Otherwise, the disease will stay in the body for too long and will be more difficult to treat. Postpartum wind is a chronic disease. Postpartum disease must be treated early to be effective. Otherwise, it will stay in the body for too long and will be more difficult to treat. You must be mentally prepared after you get the disease. If you stop and start treatment during the treatment process, you will often get half the result with twice the effort and the effect will not be good. Mothers who give birth naturally can get up and move around the next day and do things within their ability to help their bodies recover quickly, but do not wash their hands or clothes with cold water.

3. How to prevent "postpartum wind"

1. Change clothes frequently

Postpartum mothers are weak and prone to sweating. The evaporation of sweat will cause the heat of the skin to dissipate. Therefore, postpartum mothers should change their underwear frequently to effectively prevent rheumatic evil spirits from invading the body and avoid postpartum wind.

2. Take a proper bath

It is best not to take a bath immediately after giving birth. When taking a bath a few days after delivery, you should pay attention to the water temperature and time. The water temperature should be controlled between 35 degrees and 37 degrees. The bathing time should not exceed 20 minutes. After washing, blow dry your hair as quickly as possible to avoid catching a cold.

3. Be careful of the cold

New mothers should avoid catching cold during the confinement period. They should not be exposed to cold wind or drink cold water, and they should not wash their hands or face with cold water.

The confinement room should be located in a sunny location. New mothers can get some sun exposure after giving birth to prevent the moisture in the house from invading the body and causing rheumatism.

4. You should not eat cold or irritating food. Usually, special attention should be paid to avoid physical fatigue or mental stimulation.
