One of the misconceptions Postpartum rheumatism must be treated within one hundred days. At present, breastfeeding is advocated, and when women are breastfeeding for one hundred days after delivery, the internal medicine taken will enter the bloodstream and be fed to the child through breast milk. The medicine for postpartum rheumatism will generally have the Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood or yang and yin, and at the same time will add the medicine to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, the baby’s body does not necessarily need these substances, Chinese medicine is concerned about the balance of yin and yang, the child is “pure yang body”, can lose its yang not its yin, postpartum rheumatism patients are mostly yang deficiency, after taking it will inevitably have an impact on the child The patient of postpartum rheumatism is mostly Yang deficiency, after taking it, it will inevitably have an impact on the child. At the same time, the composition of Chinese medicine can not be characterized, if the symptoms are not heavy, it is recommended that you can use common Chinese medicine to make medicinal meals (refers to the Chinese medicine that can be used as medicine and food at the same time) or use topical medicine for treatment. Postpartum rheumatism can be treated after the patient stops breastfeeding, and there will not be much difference from the clinical point of view. Myth No. 2 Postpartum rheumatism can be treated by the method of sweating. 1, postpartum rheumatism is mostly caused by the feeling of wind, cold and dampness, a method of Chinese medicine to treat exopathic disease is to use the method of sweating to expel the external evil. But the premise is first of all, the patient’s physique is good, or else in the use of sweating medicine at the same time with the addition of the blood tonic. The reason why postpartum rheumatism will occur, the fundamental reason is that the patient is not enough qi, qi and blood deficiency, and then feel the external evil, if only a sweating, will be more damage to yang qi. 2, some patients use a lot of sweating medicine, the whole body sweat, and even can not stop, some can wet the quilt, this is even more undesirable, many patients can not move their joints after sweating, life can not take care of themselves. Chinese medicine believes that sweat for Yang Qi, after sweating will die Yang, Yang outside for guard, will lead to continuous sweating more than. Myth No. 3 Postpartum rheumatism must wear more clothes Many patients come to the clinic wearing very thick clothes, even in the summer, which is not desirable. Patients with postpartum rheumatism do not harmonize their yin and yang, and are prone to spontaneous sweating. If they wear excessive clothes and sweat a lot, it will lead to more weakness. Therefore, patients are advised to dress appropriately, as long as they do not feel cold. Also bring an outer garment, put it on when cold, take it off when exercising and hot; better bring 1-2 dry towels, if sweating, dry the sweat, because when the body is sweating, the pores are developed, wind, cold and dampness will enter with it, at the same time the underwear will be wet after sweating, covering the dry clothes with the body will be cold, leading to aggravation of the disease. Myth No. 4 Postpartum rheumatism must be bed rest Postpartum rheumatism patients need to exercise properly to improve physical fitness. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that “lying down for a long time hurts the qi”. The human body needs exercise to strengthen the metabolism, generally can take a small number of times the exercise method, each activity is not too long. At the same time, there is no limit to the way of exercise, jogging, brisk walking and so on, generally after the normal sleep at night the next day physical recovery of 80% for the appropriate, if more fatigue, reduce the amount of exercise, and vice versa to increase the amount of exercise. Myth No. 5 postpartum rheumatism can be cured by giving birth to a second child In folklore often have this statement, do not rule out the possibility, theoretically speaking, is not very feasible, I encountered most patients significantly aggravated, there is a patient deliberately induced after 5 months of pregnancy, the results of pre-operative could still live on their own, post-operative bedridden for 3 months. In Chinese medicine, the reason why the patient developed postpartum rheumatism is that the patient’s own constitution is weak, if pregnant, the child’s innate qi will be insufficient, while the body provides for a person with not enough, and then pregnant with a baby, is not adding insult to injury! (There may be a second child better women will have objections, medical tumors will also have self-healing, but need to understand the probability of it) Myth No. 6 Postpartum rheumatism after the development of rheumatoid arthritis Currently rheumatoid arthritis from the Western medical point of view etiology is unclear, while from the epidemiological point of view there is no evidence to support this view. Clinically, most patients with rheumatoid arthritis do not have a history of postpartum rheumatism. Myth No. 7 Stopping medication immediately after symptom relief Many patients stop medication immediately after symptom relief or disappearance, which is the reason why many patients relapse, in fact, what patients see is only the surface, many of postpartum rheumatism is insufficient qi and blood, liver and kidney deficiency, etc., which need to continue to take for a period of time.
