What should I do if my shoulders get cold during confinement?

Generally, women are very weak and have weak resistance after giving birth, so they need to rest well, but they must pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise it is easy for cold air to invade. Some women in life are unable to take good care of themselves during the confinement period, resulting in cold shoulders. At this time, they must pay attention to keeping warm, and they can usually relieve pain through hot compresses.

Will I still catch a cold more than 50 days after giving birth?

In fact, during pregnancy, because of the presence of the fetus, a woman's body will be like a pot of fire, and she will always feel hot; after giving birth, her body condition changes, her vitality is damaged a lot, and she will feel cold. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that after a woman has just given birth, her vital energy is severely damaged and her qi and blood are insufficient. Therefore, all the meridians are empty and her superficial defense is not solid. Also, because a woman has just given birth, all the pores of her body are open and a large amount of sweat is released. Therefore, a lot of damp evil qi will gather around the woman.

Therefore, if a woman is not careful after giving birth, wind, cold, dampness, etc. will invade her meridians, joints, and muscles, causing meridian blockage. Of course, it can also cause poor blood circulation and, of course, blood stasis can also cause pain.

If a woman catches a cold after giving birth, she will not only suffer from a cold, but may also have a fever or even pneumonia. Therefore, these inflammations will be directly transmitted to women's joints, including the joints of the upper and lower limbs, causing soreness, numbness and other phenomena in the limb joints, and some women may even experience swelling. In more serious cases for some women, it may cause neuralgia, which recurs repeatedly and is difficult to cure.

Because women are weak after giving birth, sometimes they can’t even feel it themselves. Therefore, it is best not to catch a cold, because catching a cold will cause "postpartum disease", and "postpartum disease" is not easy to cure. Therefore, female friends must protect themselves and be careful not to catch cold.

This is accompanied by joint pain in the mother.

2. Prone to sweating

Another obvious symptom of postpartum wind is sweating. The mother will be very weak after giving birth. If the mother does not take good care of herself during the confinement period, it is easy for her to suffer from qi deficiency after childbirth. When qi deficiency occurs, it is easy to sweat.
