During the postpartum period, women are at a critical stage of physical recovery. Without proper care, it is easy to leave some minor health problems in the body. Therefore, women need to strengthen their care, promote physical recovery, and avoid other diseases. However, some women may experience discomfort from joint pain, which has a significant impact on their daily lives. So, what is the reason for joint pain during the postpartum period?
Joint pain during confinement may be caused by weak Qi and blood. During childbirth, women will lose a large amount of blood and physical energy, which can easily lead to symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, and dizziness.
Furthermore, during childbirth, women also lose a significant amount of calcium, and with the need to feed their babies during confinement, they are prone to calcium deficiency. If women cannot supplement calcium in a timely manner, it can cause joint pain. For this situation, women need to supplement calcium and eat more calcium rich foods to relieve joint pain.
Women's postpartum bodies are already very weak. If they don't rest well during the confinement period and become tired, it can lead to joint pain. Therefore, women must pay more attention to rest and avoid excessive fatigue. When there is pain in the joint area, appropriate hot compress can be applied to improve discomfort, and it is also advisable to avoid contact with cold water as much as possible.
