When does confinement disease appear 1

After a woman gives birth, not only does her burden increase, but she also suffers from more diseases. The most common one is what we often call "confinement disease."

"Confinement disease" means that after a woman gives birth to a child, she does not take good care of herself during confinement, which will lead to symptoms such as "sore back and leg pain", "crying in the wind", "headache" and other symptoms in the future. , we collectively refer to these postpartum sequelae as "confinement disease".

When does "confinement disease" appear?

The occurrence of confinement disease is not only related to personal constitution, but also has a great relationship with diet and maintenance factors during confinement.

Some mothers will develop symptoms of "confinement syndrome" around 8 weeks after giving birth, while others will not develop symptoms until 5 or 6 years after giving birth. Some women even wait until they are old. There will be obvious symptoms later.

Doctors’ standard classification is “3 months postpartum”. This time is an important period for the mother’s body to recover. During this period, the mother’s uterus, internal organs and other body organs will return to normal.

On the contrary, if you still feel unwell or even uncomfortable 3 months after giving birth, then the mother is likely to suffer from "confinement disease".

The truth behind "confinement disease":

1) Cold

Postpartum women's joints and ligaments are in a " "open" state, so once exposed to cold air, it will easily invade the body, so many older people will tell mothers who have just given birth not to touch cold water.

2) Involvement

Childbirth is a very demanding physical thing for the mother. Postpartum women are even more physically exhausted, and the mother immediately invests in childcare after giving birth. , it will inevitably prevent the body from being repaired in time, and the immunity will also be reduced.

Although it is not recommended to stay in bed for a long time after delivery, excessive fatigue is not advisable. Postpartum fatigue can lead to palpitations, fatigue, uterine prolapse, various joint pains, insufficient milk, etc.

3) Receiving qi

The confinement period is also a period of high incidence of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and conflicts between husband and wife. The outbreak of these conflicts will also greatly affect the recovery of the mother's body.

4) Heat

During the confinement period, you cannot catch cold, so "covering yourself more" has become the norm during confinement, but in fact, "heat" is worse than cold.

Exposure to heat can cause bacteria to multiply in the maternal reproductive organs, resulting in puerperal fever, persistent high fever, nausea and vomiting, etc., and even dehydration due to excessive heat-covering. Therefore, during the confinement period, you should neither catch cold nor cover up the heat excessively.

"Confinement disease" is actually "heart disease"

In life, we always say "confinement disease", anything that can be related to confinement The diseases and symptoms mentioned above are all confinement diseases.

In fact, "confinement disease" is not a specific disease, but a general term that combines all the problems caused by inadequate care during the confinement period. Moreover, most of the symptoms included in "confinement disease" are not diagnosed by doctors, but people habitually automatically attribute this condition to the category of confinement disease.

The real situation is that there is no illness during the confinement period. The reason why mothers will have various symptoms of discomfort after delivery is due to improper postpartum care. For example, some mothers do not have any symptoms after delivery. Timely calcium supplementation, some mothers are anemic, some mothers have poor peripheral nerve circulation, etc.

What you really need to be vigilant about after delivery is puerperal infection

More scientifically speaking, the postpartum period is the "puerperal period" of the mother, from the time the placenta is delivered to the time when various organs of the mother's body return to their normal state. the time required.

The general puerperal period is 6-8 weeks, and the puerperal period is not absolute for different mothers and depends on the recovery situation. During the puerperium period, "puerperal infection" is a problem that many mothers should pay attention to.

Mothers with "puerperal infection" will have fever and abnormal lochia. If this happens, especially for those with weak constitutions, the possibility of infection must be considered.

"Puerperal infection" can seriously lead to maternal death. Therefore, once symptoms are discovered, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intervention in time to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment. When does confinement disease appear? 2

Frequently feeling sore in the body

After the baby is born, the new mother needs to do all the eating, drinking, and defecation. She does not trust others and is too demanding. She often gets up at night to feed, change diapers, and prepare milk powder. Sometimes, the baby keeps crying and I can't sleep well. I hold the baby until dawn. Over time, my arms, lumbar spine, and thumbs all suffer from "confinement disease", and the slightest movement causes severe pain. This situation is the most common. It is mainly caused by overwork, lack of rest time, coupled with the fact that the body has not fully recovered and the tolerance is relatively poor.

Gynecological diseases come and go

The incisions left after childbirth can easily become inflamed if not taken care of carefully. Some women do not pay attention to hygiene or clean too much. May cause wound infection. Frequently eating irritating or greasy food will also prolong the recovery time of the wound. In addition, if the resistance is poor and the body is weak, the inflammation will easily recur. In severe cases, lochia may not be exhausted. This is also called "confinement disease". "A manifestation.

Decreased hormone levels and depressed mood

After giving birth to the baby, the whole family’s focus is on the child, neglecting the care of the mother, and they suddenly change from a “queen” to a “commoner”.

When the child grows up and can stand and crawl on his own, the frequency of bending will decrease, and the back pain and hand pain will gradually be relieved. Treatment can also be good.

Some elderly people say that confinement disease can only be treated during confinement disease, so women just leave it alone. This is not correct. No matter what the disease is, it must be treated as early as possible and not delayed. A "month period", such as urinary leakage, pubic separation, depression, etc. These are relatively serious and cannot be left alone.

The doctor reminds: Giving birth and raising children is not the mother’s responsibility alone. If you are really tired, you must seek help from others and don’t try to be stubborn. Families with conditions can also ask aunts for help. In short Expectant mothers must take good care of their bodies.
