Symptoms of cold bone wind

Princess Kate has given birth to three children. She was discharged from the hospital to participate in activities after giving birth every time, and did not have to stay in confinement like domestic mothers. There was an uproar in the country about this behavior of not observing the confinement period after childbirth. Many pregnant women in cities said that they should learn from the princess and that the confinement period after childbirth was really unnecessary. But the elders insisted that confinement is a Chinese tradition and if it is not done properly, one may get cold bone disease. Young people don’t know what cold bone wind is and what are the symptoms of cold bone wind?

Postpartum rheumatism, also known as postpartum disease, is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine. In some places, it is called cold bone wind. Because of the weak constitution and severe fear of cold and wind, the uncomfortable symptoms seem to come from the bones, extremely cold and uncomfortable, and sometimes the discomfort symptoms cannot be accurately expressed and described. Sometimes certain parts of the body will feel cold air coming out of the inside. It is generally believed that the cause is due to inadequate protection during the confinement period after childbirth, miscarriage or abortion, failure to pay attention to maintenance and rest, warmth and nutrition, exposure to wind, water, bathing, sweating, wearing slippers, walking outside, and air conditioning, etc., which may lead to the appearance of postpartum rheumatic symptoms. The following symptoms may occur

:1. Headache, dizziness, chills and fear of cold;

2. Eye discomfort, fear of wind, tearing, itching, fear of light, photophobia (this symptom may occur if you cry, are exposed to wind, read too much books and watch too much TV, or do not get enough rest during the confinement period);

Because, in most cases, modern medical methods cannot provide an obvious diagnosis of the disease, and the patients themselves are miserable and often sigh to themselves: I am the only one who knows the pain I am feeling. This disease is divided into two types: acute and chronic. The chronic type develops quickly and may appear shortly after delivery. Chronic diseases can hide in the human body for several years, more than ten years, or even decades. As the physical condition weakens, the disease will flare up. If you want to further confirm the diagnosis, you can go to the hospital for a systematic rheumatic and immunological disease examination and other related examinations. However, according to the examination results, inexperienced doctors will say that there is nothing wrong with you and all the indexes are normal. This disease can be completely cured with careful treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Don't worry too much. Too much worry will make the disease more difficult to treat. In normal times, especially during the postpartum confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid being exposed to wind, do not use cold water, eat less raw and cold food, do less physical work if you are in poor physical condition or have not recovered after delivery, avoid wind and rain, pay attention to regulating your emotions, pay more attention to rest, and pay attention to nutrition. It is also important to note that you should not use cold medicines, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs indiscriminately, or diaphoretic drugs.
