What is postpartum rheumatism?
Commonly known as "postpartum wind", also known as "postpartum arthralgia syndrome" and "postpartum stroke", it refers to a kind of disease in which the parturient suffers from soreness, pain and numbness of limbs or joints due to qi deficiency, cold and dampness, accompanied by fear of wind and cold. In severe cases, it can further develop into rheumatoid arthritis and even lead to self-care.
Rheumatism has a wide range, which is related to gender and age, but it is not the patent of the elderly. Osteoarthropathy is mainly in the elderly, ankylosing spondylitis is mainly in young men, and gout is concentrated in middle-aged men, but it has also shown a trend of youthfulness in recent years. From the gender point of view, lupus and Sjogren's syndrome are mostly female patients, especially young and middle-aged women in childbirth, and the incidence rate of women is at least twice that of men.
Postpartum insufficient blood gas should pay attention to rheumatism.
Among rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most easily confused. These two diseases have similar symptoms, similar names and look like brothers, but they are completely different. Rheumatoid arthritis is just a symptom of rheumatic joints, which is caused by streptococcal infection. Joint pain is concentrated in knee joint, elbow joint and shoulder joint, showing wandering redness and pain. In addition, there will be many system symptoms such as heart, skin and nerve, and the most serious complication is rheumatic heart disease.
Postpartum insufficient blood gas should pay attention to rheumatism, and insist on standardized treatment of rheumatoid patients in order to recover.
In addition, the symptoms of postpartum rheumatism are also called postpartum body pain, mostly because women's postpartum insufficient blood gas can't resist diseases such as exogenous evil, wind, cold and dampness invading meridians and preventing blood gas from running. The clinical manifestations are chills, wind, pain, soreness, heaviness and numbness in many muscle joints of the whole body, and the situation improved after heat preservation. Postpartum rheumatism is the patient's own subjective feeling. Western medicine believes that everything is normal and there is no effective treatment. Even diagnosed as neurosis and depression. This disease seriously affects the quality of life of patients.
Adhere to standardized treatment, 90% of rheumatoid patients can recover.
Rheumatism is the most common kind of rheumatism, and it is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with chronic, symmetrical, multi-joint synovitis and extra-joint diseases as its main clinical manifestations. There are a large number of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in China, but there are three low-profile situations: low visibility, low medical treatment rate and low cure rate. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the main reasons for the loss of labor and obstacles in China. The 2-year disability rate was 50%, and the 3-year disability rate was 70%. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases and brittle fractures is high.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common initial manifestation of synovitis, exudation, cell proliferation, granuloma formation and destruction of cartilage and bone tissue in joint cavity, which eventually causes joint stiffness and dysfunction, damages internal organs and causes multiple system injuries. Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by first invading small joints such as fingers and toes, and feeling stiff joints in the morning.
At present, studies have found that the causes of rheumatoid arthritis may include changes in estrogen levels, smoking, infection, genetic factors and many other environmental factors. Rheumatoid arthritis is a non-infectious inflammatory disease. No antibiotics are used in the treatment, but hormones, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, immunosuppressants, biological agents and traditional Chinese medicines are used for internal and external use. Adhering to standardized treatment can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and patients can return to normal after active and reasonable treatment.
Six misunderstandings of rheumatism.
1. Rheumatism is due to too much moisture.
Many people think that rheumatism is caused by excessive moisture. Don't touch water, especially cold water, don't wash clothes, don't swim, and don't blow air conditioning. The dampness understood by TCM is not as simple as water, but a complex comprehensive factor. Rheumatism occurs in various climatic environments, and the incidence rate is high in humid environment, but it is mainly related to patients' autoimmune. If patients with rheumatoid arthritis can swim, it will play a good role in hydrotherapy and joint function exercise.
Rheumatism is a patent for the elderly.
People of different ages, including children, will suffer from rheumatism, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and other serious rheumatism, which are more common in young adults.
3. Ancestral secret recipe for rheumatism.
Private inspectors and secret recipes must be identified and used. Some so-called ancestral secret recipes claim that rheumatoid arthritis can be cured with pure Chinese medicine. If the patient quickly relieves symptoms after taking it, and then relapses soon after stopping taking it, it is often mixed with hormones and a lot of painkillers. Blind abuse often leads to serious consequences.
4. Rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured.
Although most rheumatism is difficult to cure, most patients should be diagnosed early, seize the opportunity to give standardized treatment and systematic medication, control the progress of the disease, relieve symptoms, prevent disability and improve the quality of life.
Hormones must be used to treat rheumatism.
Hormone is a double-edged sword. Under the guidance of professional doctors, it can be used scientifically to achieve the purpose of treatment. The use of hormones should be considered according to the disease and condition. The hormone of rheumatoid arthritis can't stop the continuous development of the pathological process of arthritis and can't be cured. Long-term use and improper use will bring many adverse reactions, which are more harmful to human body than rheumatoid arthritis itself.
6. Rheumatoid patients can't exercise all their lives.
To prevent rheumatic diseases, citizens should strengthen exercise, avoid infection, keep warm, keep happy and avoid eating too much. Early detection, early diagnosis, early formal treatment, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment, treatment, most rheumatism patients return to normal work and life.
Hai-Bo Yin, director of Chinese Medicine Department of Beijing Sihui West Hospital, said that only rheumatism patients with joint diseases should try to brake and rest in the acute stage to avoid overwork. Patients have different constitutions, different symptoms, and different onset and remission periods of similar diseases, so exercise rehabilitation treatment and dietary guidance should be carried out.
