In the rheumatology clinic, we often encounter this type of female patients, who are between 20 and 30 years old to 60 and 70 years old, often feel afraid of cold and wind all over their body, especially in the joints and muscles, and in severe cases, they may also have joint and muscle pain. Usually need to wear more clothes and pants to relieve the fear of cold and wind, even in the hottest three days of the year they do not dare to take off long-sleeved clothes and pants, not to mention blowing fans, air conditioning. For them, the cold three ninth day is simply a disaster, afraid to go out, home electric heater, electric blankets and other warming appliances need to be fully open. But this type of patients to the hospital, often a series of comprehensive physical and chemical examination results indicate that no abnormalities, so they are suffering from rheumatic disease or not? It can be said for sure that they are suffering from a rheumatic disease, because most of the patients in this category are afraid of wind and cold, joint and muscle pain symptoms after giving birth, the rheumatic disease they suffer from can be called postpartum rheumatism. Postpartum rheumatism, also known as “postpartum body pain”, “postpartum paralysis”, is the postpartum period, especially the puerperium, is highly prevalent, mostly due to the feeling of wind, cold, damp and other disease-causing evil, with the whole body in many muscles, joints, fear of cold, wind, pain, soreness, heaviness, numbness, etc. as the main Because the disease is more frequent in January after childbirth, the people often call it “moon disease”. The understanding of this disease in Chinese medicine can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, for example, it is written in the “Jingxue Zhanbao”: “Postpartum stroke, body pain, limb weakness.” As for the cause of the disease, “Taiping Shenghui Fang? Postpartum stroke tendons and veins and limbs contracture” is recorded: “Postpartum stroke, tendons and veins and limbs contracture, is a lack of qi and blood, the internal organs are deficient, the sun and the moon cold gas first guest in the skin meridians, it is stubbornly paralyzed, lack of energy. Wind into the meridians, the cold is also contracted.” We know that in the tenth month of pregnancy, a large amount of Qi and blood in the body are injected into the uterus to nourish the fetus, at this time the body limbs, joints, muscles and other places of Qi and blood in a state of deficiency or emptiness, do not get enough nourishment. When the delivery, the mother needs to consume a lot of physical strength, plus the birth canal bleeding, the maternal body qi and blood more depleted, the body resistance is extremely weak. At this time, once overworked, greedy cold drinking cold, sleeping and blowing wind, living in a cold or wet place, or greedy for air conditioning, fans, or prematurely with the husband, etc., wind, cold, moisture and other disease-causing evil to take advantage of the void and stay in the joints, muscles, skin, meridians, tendons and other places, obstructing the flow of qi and blood, not pass is pain, so there can be muscles, joints, cold, wind, pain and a series of symptoms. So is every woman suffering from postpartum rheumatism? The answer is no. Because each maternal physique is different, the state of Qi and blood is not the same, the strong body, even if inadvertently feel wind, cold, damp and other evil qi after childbirth, will not necessarily develop, or even if the onset, the onset is later, the symptoms are lighter, faster recovery; while the weak body, the onset is often earlier, the symptoms are heavier, slower recovery, some patients can last for several years, or even decades. It is worth noting that many women nowadays also have clinical manifestations of postpartum rheumatism after gynecological surgery, such as abortion, induction of labor and curettage, which suggests that the onset of postpartum rheumatism is not limited to the postpartum period alone. Therefore, it is important for every woman to recognize postpartum rheumatism.
