Symptoms of postpartum rheumatism, joint pain is the most common

If women do not take good care of themselves during the confinement period and are exposed to the wind, it is easy to develop postpartum rheumatism, which will cause pain in the joints and muscles. They will also be afraid of cold and wind, and rheumatic diseases will flare up if they are a little tired. It is important to maintain a good mood during the confinement period to avoid rheumatism.

1. During the confinement period, the muscles, bones and pores of women are wide open, and the qi and blood are weak, and the inside and outside are empty. The wind, cold and dampness are accidentally invaded. Its clinical symptoms are fear of cold, fear of wind, sweating, pain in joints, and worsening symptoms when encountering cold and wind. It is good to wear clothes. Severe patients wear cotton clothes in hot summer. According to Chinese medicine theory, "cold evil enters the bones". One of the reasons why it is difficult to treat is that women have a natural recovery period of 100 days during the confinement period, and the muscles, bones and pores are closed, which can wrap the rheumatism and cold evil into the body and cannot be discharged. The pathogens stay in the body for a long time, damaging the pores and muscle and bone tissues, leading to serious muscle and bone diseases;

2. Depression can easily lead to liver qi stagnation, resulting in poor blood circulation. Stagnation of qi and blood can easily lead to loss of nutrition, and wind evil can invade accidentally. Its clinical symptoms are: fear of cold, fear of wind, pain in joints, numbness, convulsions, swelling and pain, etc.;

3. Women are forbidden to have sex during the confinement period . Excessive sex will damage Yin and Jing. Yin and Jing deficiency will lead to empty tendons and bones, and wind evil can invade. Its main clinical symptoms are: in addition to being afraid of cold and wind, and joint pain, it is mainly heaviness, weakness, backache, sleepiness, pain, and fatigue intolerance. Some patients are accompanied by rheumatism and rheumatoid symptoms.

4. People who are impatient are prone to get angry, while people who think too much will secretly consume yin blood . The former's angry fire can damage yin and cause internal wind, while the latter's yin blood will secretly consume internal heat and cause blood dryness. According to Chinese medicine theory, "blood deficiency causes wind", which is a kind of wind caused by the failure of blood to nourish the muscles and bones, that is, rheumatoid arthritis. The specific clinical symptoms are pain in all joints of the body, headache or local pain. Some patients are accompanied by fear of cold and wind, general discomfort and edema when it is cloudy and rainy. Severe cases may lead to edema all over the body. Long-term improper treatment can lead to severe rheumatism and late-stage rheumatoid arthritis.
