A netizen reported that a woman died of heatstroke in Shanghai during her menstrual period. The woman lived in Fengxian District, Shanghai, and her family believed that the woman should be “covered”. The woman followed her family’s advice and rested in a room without air conditioning and covered with a quilt. on August 3, the woman suffered a heatstroke at home, and because of the improper handling of the family, the woman’s health was in critical condition. The day of the incident, the woman was sent to the hospital, after the rescue failed to die, leaving a child not long after birth. Maternity deaths during the month of labor, this is already the second one that happened in Shanghai in 2015! The last time was during the Chinese New Year, when a woman died of a pulmonary artery thrombosis because she was determined not to move her body during her menstrual period. Once again, we remind mothers that the traditional Chinese style of “sitting on the moon” is a very wrong habit. How to sit scientifically, today to give you a good popularization. 1, only the Chinese “sitting in the moon”? Wrong! All over the world maternal “sitting in the moon”, because this is called “puerperium”, puerperium and pregnancy similar, is a special time cycle of women. There are certain taboos during this time, which is called “menstruation”, for women all over the world. However, the difference is that some taboos are scientific and some are ignorant. In other words, all mothers in the world “sit on the moon”, but some people are scientific “sitting on the moon”, and some people are ignorant “sitting on the moon”. There is no difference between Chinese and foreigners, only the difference between “science” and “ignorance”. 2, the traditional Chinese “sitting in the moon” need 30 days, right? Wrong! The period of “sitting in the moonlight” is also known as the puerperium, which takes 6 weeks, 42 days. Therefore, you will find that the first postpartum checkup is usually scheduled on the 42nd day. Because the cycle of 42 days, is the modern medicine has confirmed, the uterus from the postpartum recovery to the prenatal state of the time required; and the traditional Chinese “sitting in the moon” takes 30 days because the ancient people do not understand, casually take a month as an example; but in fact, there is no scientific basis for 30 days, should be 42 days. 3, the traditional Chinese “sitting in the moon” requirements do not get out of bed activities, right? Wrong! Poor living conditions in ancient times, maternal health, coupled with the Oriental diet, resulting in a lot of maternal anemia; so these ancient women are particularly prone to post-partum fainting. Ancient people also do not understand anemia, there is no way, so they came up with the idea of letting mothers lie in bed without going to the ground. But now the situation is completely different, maternal nutrition is not so bad, not so “Lin Daiyu”. And most importantly, prolonged lying in bed can lead to the formation of “venous thrombosis”, which is a life-threatening condition for the mother. In addition, many modern women cesarean section, cesarean section after delivery, if not active, it is easy to “intestinal adhesions”. Therefore, if you “do not get out of bed activities”, you are a normal delivery, purely by themselves to let themselves bored, but also increase the possibility of “venous thrombosis”; you are a cesarean section, not only to let themselves bored, but also to let themselves “intestinal adhesions! If you have a cesarean section, not only will you be bored, but you will also have “intestinal adhesions” and will have to be operated on again in time. Ancient people do not understand cesarean section, if now also learn from the ancients do not get out of bed during the month, that is their own waste of their own bodies, too stupid. 4, if you get out of bed during the month, it will cause uterine prolapse, right? No! Normal daily activities will not cause uterine prolapse. Prolapse of the uterus is mainly due to individual physical reasons (that is to say, if your physical condition is such that you lie down every day will also prolapse); secondly, prolapse of the uterus is the puerperium to do too strenuous exercise. For example, running, standing for a long time with weight bearing, etc.. But why would you, a normal woman in labor, go running after giving birth? Why would you go to the pier and carry sandbags? You will not do such a thing, so normal activities will not lead to uterine prolapse. 5, can not see the wind, right? Wrong! Ancient Chinese poor sanitation, the understanding of disease is not clear, many bacterial or viral infections caused by the disease are said to be “wind”, so the “wind” as fierce as a tiger, to avoid maternal “see the wind! So they regarded “wind” as as fierce as a tiger and told women in labor to avoid “seeing the wind”. However, with the advancement of science nowadays, we all know that those puerperal illnesses are mostly bacterial or viral infections, which have nothing to do with “wind”. In fact, during the puerperium period, we should keep the indoor air circulation, not only can not “avoid the wind”, but also “ventilation”, so that the density of viruses and bacteria in the room will be less, and mothers are less prone to illness. So the traditional “sitting in the moon” can not see the wind, and the above said “can not get out of bed action”, not only is not to help maternal recovery, but instead of letting the mother’s body is potentially harmful. 6, I have been postpartum headaches or back and leg pain, is because the month did not sit properly by the wind, right? Wrong! Postpartum headache or back and leg pain, is caused by postpartum endocrine disorders. It is also related to your body type. If your body is more sensitive, your postpartum wind can not see, you will still have headaches and back and leg pain; your body is not sensitive, your postpartum how to see the wind are fine. So the postpartum headache waist and leg pain of the baby moms do not need to grumble and complain “did not sit well”, really and this is not related. However, balanced nutrition and reasonable diet after delivery will help restore the endocrine system and make the body pain-free. However, a very small number of women may suffer from endocrine imbalance for a long period of time after delivery. But this can not be helped, this is the life ah. 7, you can not take a shower and wash your hair, right? Wrong! Bathing helps maternal health, because the process of birth is often sweaty, so that if you do not take a shower, the body sweats a lot of easy to breed bacteria, is not conducive to post-partum recovery. Regardless of normal delivery or cesarean section, you can take a bath on the second day after delivery, but shower, do not sit in the bath or tub bath. 8, I did not sit properly, shower and wash my hair, and then really headache, right? Wrong! See Article 6. 9. I can’t go out during my menstruation, right? No! The rule that you can’t go out during the month of pregnancy comes from the misconception that you can’t see the wind, as mentioned above. Sitting during the month, appropriate activities are very important, in addition to avoiding what we said above, “venous thrombosis”, “intestinal adhesions”, but also can be more conducive to maternal mental health. If you stay at home all the time, it is really boring. Go out for a walk, and girlfriends drink tea, chat! 10, sitting on the moon can not touch the cold water, more can not drink cold, right? Wrong! Normal use of cold water warm water hot water, are no problem. Of course, postpartum you can not be a long time to immerse the body in cold water. Not to mention the postpartum, normal people will be uncomfortable for a long time to immerse the body in cold water. 11. My wrist hurts because I was in cold water during the month, right? No! Like #6, this is also life. This condition is commonly known as “mom’s wrist”. It is also caused by endocrine disorders (in addition to frequent carrying of the baby and weight-bearing, which can also aggravate the disease), and it has nothing to do with the mother’s contact with cold water, but it is still mainly a problem of the individual’s constitution. If the maternal constitution, try not to hold the baby, do not lift heavy objects, can slow down the pain; if the pain, external rub Futenma Lin ointment (can also be used during lactation). 12, can not carry the baby out of the house during the month, right? No! The baby can go out after birth, of course, do not take the baby to the bad air places (such as theaters and shopping malls, etc.), you can take the baby for a walk in the neighborhood green space. In addition, babies with jaundice should go out in the sun more often (indoors, because of the glass barrier, sun exposure is the same as no sun exposure. But sunshine, the baby to wear sunscreen.) 13. I can’t brush my teeth during the month, right? No! There is no “right” reason for this. You must brush your teeth. 14, the monthly period to eat 10 eggs a day to replenish the body, right? Wrong! This rule, is the ancient poor ah, when the average person to eat an egg is considered a delicacy. But in fact, eating 1 egg a day is enough, not more than 2 at most. More than 2, the human body will not be absorbed, completely superfluous waste. 15, sitting on the moon to eat greasy every day, so that it is easy to milk, right? Wrong! The best way to get milk is to drink water, drink plain water, it is best to drink more than 2000 milliliters of plain water every day. Eating too much greasy food does not help the milk, but will affect the maternal digestion. 16, sitting in the moon, to drink “moon water”, “moon rice wine”, right? Wrong! Those are business publicity gimmicks, moon water, moon rice wine on the maternal body does not have any help. This thing CCTV also exposed. 17, sitting on the moon can not cry, otherwise the body is not good, right? Wrong! Although we do not encourage maternal crying, but maternal crying does not affect the body. Crying at any time, will not affect the body. 18, a lot of things to be avoided during menstruation, right? No! Sitting on the moon and breastfeeding, basically you can eat before pregnancy, now can eat. Just avoid seafood, because seafood mercury content is relatively high. So what fruit ah, food ah, cool ah, spicy ah, can eat; but pay attention to nutritional balance, do not overeat; in addition to note that if you eat a certain kind of food, the baby ate your milk after allergies, then you do not want to eat this kind of food in the future. 19, moonlighting to drink brown sugar water to replenish blood, right? Wrong! In the past, the ancients drank brown sugar water to replenish blood, because it looks “red”, it is given a lot of special effects. But these are all nonsense, the ancients did not know, anemia is iron deficiency. Brown sugar water does not have any iron effect, and brown sugar is often more impurities, drink no use, but also may allow the body to ingest impurities. 20, can not watch TV and play the phone, otherwise the eyes will be bad and radiation, right? Wrong! Moderation can be, don’t watch TV all day long for more than ten hours to play the phone, which replaced the normal people can not ah. As for “radiation”, the radiation of all household appliances are safe, do not worry about this problem. The traditional way of “sitting on the moon” is wrong in too many ways. But many people still stick to the traditional way, for no other reason than ignorance. No one tells them the scientific reasons. In addition, we must recognize the reality that there are individual differences in health, individual mothers adhere to the science of menstruation, may also be due to endocrine disorders caused by a variety of pain or disease. But this kind of individual differences really can’t be helped, and even more unlikely by “sitting on the moon” can sit well.
