What is the cause of postpartum headache?
There are two main reasons for postpartum wind. One is that women are weak and prone to cold during childbirth, and the cold spreads from the lower abdomen to the whole body. Another reason is excessive joint activity. Women suffer from excessive postpartum blood loss or malnutrition, poor blood circulation, and a little fatigue will lead to wrist numbness and other symptoms. Maternal women who give birth at an advanced age, have dystocia, have cesarean section and have multiple abortions are more likely to suffer from postpartum wind. Symptoms usually appear after 8 weeks after delivery. If left unchecked, they may last for months or even years, so be sure to pay attention.

Blood deficiency: headache caused by excessive postpartum blood loss and insufficient qi and blood; Blood stasis: headache caused by postpartum women's lochia and poor blood circulation; Cold pathogen: postpartum weakness, headache caused by cold.

Western medicine believes that postpartum headache is caused by the increase of hormone level in postpartum body or spinal puncture during caesarean section.

Pregnant women will consume a lot of physical strength and vitality in the production process, and a large amount of nutrient loss will cause malnutrition in women. If you don't supplement nutrition in time, weakness can also lead to headaches. After delivery, pregnant women will cause a short-term increase in blood pressure in the body, which will also cause headaches.
So there are many reasons for postpartum headache. When you have a headache, you must find the cause and prescribe the right medicine.
