What to do if your mother has shoulder pain

Mothers must take good care of their bodies during the confinement period. If they get sick during this period, it will be difficult to treat later and it will be easy to develop a chronic illness. Postpartum illness is best treated during the confinement period. Some mothers find themselves feeling shoulder pain during the confinement period, which is most likely caused by wind in the shoulders. So, what should a woman do if her shoulders hurt after giving birth?

1. Early detection and early treatment

Postpartum diseases are best treated during the confinement period. Many postpartum diseases can be cured during the confinement period. If you do not pay attention to it and fail to discover it in time, the longer the postpartum disease is delayed, the greater the damage to the body and the more difficult it will be to cure. Generally speaking, postpartum illnesses such as colds must be cured in time during the confinement period. You can take a bath in a basin with Chinese herbal medicine to completely evaporate the cold in the body. After treatment in this way, you must not be exposed to colds again, otherwise the cold will invade your body more seriously. For other problems like low back pain and joint pain, you need to pay attention to rest during the confinement period and avoid overwork.

2. Symptomatic treatment

For a series of postpartum symptoms, you should not seek medical treatment randomly or trust folk remedies. You should go to the hospital for examination in time, determine the symptoms and causes, and receive symptomatic treatment. In order to avoid careless use of medication, aggravating the condition or missing the best time for treatment.

3. Diet adjustment

During the confinement period, nourishing diet plays a great role in the body's recovery as soon as possible. Adequate nutrition accelerates the body's recovery, makes up for the loss from previous childbirth, and strengthens the physical body. Supplementing more calcium and avoiding low back pain caused by osteoporosis are essential parts of staying away from postpartum diseases.

How to prevent shoulder pain after childbirth

1. Be sure to rest for one month or one and a half months. For two weeks after delivery, you must stay in bed except for eating and going to the bathroom. If you sit or walk around frequently, it may cause uterine prolapse.

2. Prepare two or three strips of white gauze with a width of about 30-40 cm and a length that can wrap around the abdomen 12 and a half times. After delivery, you should tie a belly band tightly to prevent your internal organs from sagging. Prolapse of internal organs will lead to gynecological diseases, protruding abdomen and ugly body shape. Wearing a belly band can also improve the condition of an obvious lower abdomen before childbirth. The abdominal band cannot be replaced by ordinary pants or abdominal belts. Because not only do they have no effect, they also have a counterproductive effect.

3. In the first two weeks, you can only use warm wine water for sponge bath. The method is to boil half water and half rice wine, add a little salt, soak a towel in it, wring it dry, and rub it on your body. You can take a shower from the third week and take a bath after the full month. (Natural delivery)
