Postpartum wind, also known as “moon sickness”. It is a woman in the period of childbirth, because the tendons and bones couples open wide, the body is weak, inside and outside the empty sparse inadvertent wind and cold invasion. In the recovery period of the month, the tendons and bones couples closed, so that the wind and cold package into the body, for the reason that the month of the postpartum wind difficult to treat. Chinese medicine refers to a disease caused by a pregnant woman feeling external evil after childbirth. After childbirth, the joints and all parts of the body that constitute the pelvis are in a loose state.
Because of various physical changes and symptoms such as loss of strength and bleeding caused by childbirth, it takes 6 weeks for a woman to return to her normal physical state, and this period is called the puerperium. If this period is not properly regulated, you will have to suffer from postpartum wind for the rest of your life. After delivery, the mother’s cervix, vagina and vulva may suffer from different degrees of damage, especially the placenta attachment in the uterine cavity inevitably leaves a large trauma, which provides a way for pathogenic bacteria to enter.
In addition, some abnormal pregnancy and delivery conditions, such as anemia, early rupture of membranes, postpartum bleeding, etc., reduce the body’s resistance, creating good conditions for the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. Puerperal infections are easily caused by the following conditions: vaginitis at the end of pregnancy, a history of bathing or sexual intercourse shortly before delivery, poor concept of aseptic operation by midwives, too many vaginal examinations, unclean maternity products, especially perineal pads, and close contact with people suffering from respiratory tract inflammation.
Therefore, puerperal infection is mainly related to the type and number of invading germs, the size of virulence and the resistance of maternal body, but not directly related to ventilation, on the contrary, a suitable ventilation environment will be conducive to maternal recuperation and inhibit the growth and reproduction of germs.
The causes of postpartum wind are broadly divided into two. One reason is that the weak body is exposed to wind and cold because of childbirth, and the cold starts to spread throughout the body from the lower abdomen. The other cause is over-activity of the joints. Although there is no excessive movement of the joints before delivery, after delivery, if the synovial fluid of the synovial bursa in the joints is not secreted properly, symptoms such as numbness of the wrist may occur with a little strain. This is caused by excessive blood loss after delivery, or insufficient nutrition and poor blood circulation.
Mothers who give birth at an advanced age, have a difficult delivery, have a cesarean section, or have multiple miscarriages are more likely to suffer from postpartum wind. Symptoms usually appear after 8 weeks after delivery, and if left unattended, they may last for months or even years, so care must be taken.
