What to do if your knees get cold during the confinement period

During the confinement period, if your knees get cold, you must be careful about the possibility of cold air invading. Try not to do too strenuous exercise during the confinement period.

You can also take appropriate Chinese medicine conditioning at ordinary times to eliminate the cold in the joints.

Treatment

●Be careful of the cold

During the postpartum period, mothers should avoid catching cold, should not be exposed to cold wind or drink cold water, and should not eat cold or irritating foods. Usually, special attention should be paid to avoid physical fatigue or mental stimulation. Not only women who give birth normally, but also women who have had a caesarean section or a miscarriage are likely to suffer from postpartum wind, so you must pay attention.

Do not over-mobilize your joints

Any slight stimulation before delivery can cause problems after delivery, so you should never over-move your joints within 2-3 weeks after delivery.

Taking postpartum tonic medicine

Postpartum tonics in traditional Chinese medicine are effective in replenishing the mother's qi and blood, helping with rapid recovery after delivery, and preventing postpartum diseases, but they must be taken 3 weeks after the lochia has been discharged. Taking tonic medicine before all the lochia is discharged may induce postpartum wind. To treat postpartum stroke, you can decoct and take medicinal herbs such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, and rehmannia root that have the effect of replenishing physical strength.

● Eat appropriate nutritional foods

Foods that can prevent postpartum wind include carp, snakehead fish, pig's trotters, pumpkin, etc. But as the name suggests, tonic foods are consumed to replenish energy. You should not take too much at one time or only eat one type.

●Receive Chinese medicine treatment

Postpartum wind should be treated early, otherwise it will be very difficult to treat. Traditional Chinese medicine is generally used to treat postpartum wind. If you experience postpartum pain symptoms such as cold joints and tingling in joints, it is recommended to go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital immediately to receive necessary treatment. Postpartum pain is usually treated with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and should be treated for more than 1 year.
