Why do you suffer from night sweats after childbirth?

Many women who have just given birth are extremely weak and cannot get out of bed to move around. Due to the energy consumption, trauma and bleeding during the childbirth process, mothers suffer from depletion of vital energy, insufficient qi and blood, and physical weakness. Physical weakness also leads to excessive sweating, and even if you have a good physical condition, you will feel weaker than ever before. So what exactly causes physical weakness after childbirth? Below, the editor will answer this question in detail.

Postpartum physical weakness refers to a sub-healthy or diseased state of women after childbirth, with symptoms such as: fear of cold, fear of wind, sweating, soreness of waist and knees, cold pain in the lower abdomen, palpitations and shortness of breath, fatigue in the limbs, scanty and dark menstruation, excessive leucorrhea, edema during menstruation, dull complexion, spots, ovarian dysfunction, and postpartum sexual apathy.

The mother is weak and loses too much blood, which damages body fluids, causes false yang to float and disperse, causes blood deficiency in the Chong and Ren meridians, and causes malnutrition of the uterine vessels. Postpartum organs are damaged, the joints are empty, the pores are not solid, and the Wei surface is not strong. If one is not careful in health preservation, various postpartum diseases may occur. In the later stages of pregnancy, the levels of estrogen, progesterone, corticosteroids, and thyroxine in pregnant women will increase to varying degrees. During the process of pregnancy and delivery, the endocrine environment in the body undergoes drastic changes, especially within 24 hours after delivery, when the hormone levels in the body drop rapidly in a short period of time, causing endocrine imbalance in the body, resulting in postpartum confinement diseases and physical weakness.

Postpartum women are often weak, so the main treatment is to replenish qi and blood. However, the use of medicines must prevent the stagnation of evil and the disadvantages of promoting evil. Postpartum women often suffer from blood stasis, so the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be used. However, the promotion of blood circulation and removal of blood stasis after childbirth must be assisted by nourishing blood, so as to remove evil without hurting the body, and remove blood stasis without hurting the blood. When choosing prescriptions and medicines, you must take into account Qi and blood. To relieve depression, do not be too dissipating, to promote digestion, you must also support the spleen, to dispel cold, do not be too warm or dry, to clear heat, do not use too many bitter and cold medicines.

The above are the reasons for postpartum physical weakness. Mothers discharge a large amount of body fluids during childbirth. In order to prevent the occurrence of postpartum complications, you must pay attention to diet conditioning and take good care of yourself during the confinement period. After delivery, eat more high-calorie and easily digestible liquid food and drink more soup. If you find abnormal sweating, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
