What is the cause of postpartum chills?

Mothers should pay special attention to their diet after giving birth, avoid eating raw and cold foods, and eat more supplements to replenish qi and blood. However, many women will find that their bodies become cold uncontrollably and they feel cold air coming out of their backs during the confinement period. Mothers cannot use medication casually because it will affect the health of the baby's milk. So what exactly is going on when a woman feels cold after giving birth? Let’s find out together.

1. Weak Qi and blood: Feeling cold after a caesarean section is mostly because the body is very weak and has not yet recovered. When the Qi and blood are weak, the blood circulation speed will be slower, the heat generated by the body will be less, and symptoms such as sweating will also appear. Female friends should not worry too much when this happens. Just get enough rest and replenish more nutrients. If necessary, you can take some Chinese medicine under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner to help the body improve physical fitness and speed up recovery.

2. Rheumatism: If women do not pay attention to keeping warm after caesarean section, such as washing their face and hands with cold water or taking a bath, or eating cold food, they are very likely to develop rheumatism, a "postpartum disease." Normally, not only will the body feel cold, but there will also be symptoms such as joint soreness, weakness, and pain. These symptoms will be aggravated especially when the weather is cold and rainy. It can be said that it is more accurate than the weather forecast. Once rheumatic disease occurs during the confinement period, it should be taken seriously and cured as soon as possible during the confinement period, otherwise the root of the disease will remain.

3. Low blood pressure: When the human body suffers from low blood pressure, the body will feel cold, and will also be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, general weakness, and mental depression. Especially women who have undergone cesarean section often suffer from low blood pressure due to blood loss, so if you feel cold, you should measure your blood pressure as soon as possible.

The above are the reasons for feeling cold after cesarean section that I introduced to you today. I believe that after reading it, you will have solved your doubts. Finally, I want to remind everyone that when you feel cold after cesarean section, you should not only use appropriate methods to treat it as soon as possible according to the cause, but also pay attention to various nursing measures to speed up recovery.
