Causes and treatment of postpartum sweating:

Causes of postpartum sweating:

Western medicine does not have this diagnosis, so it is explained by TCM theory. TCM believes that postpartum sweating is caused by physical weakness. After giving birth, the mother is often physically weak. During childbirth, a lot of Qi and blood are consumed. Qi deficiency and weak Yang defense, loose pores, will lead to Yang not restraining Yin, Yin fluid leaking out and sweating. If the mother is Yin-deficient, coupled with blood loss during childbirth and damage to Yin, the deficiency of Yin will generate internal heat, and when sleeping, Yang will take over Yin, heat will break the body fluid and leak out, resulting in postpartum sweating.

How to deal with postpartum sweating?

The degree of postpartum sweating is related to the mother's physical condition, whether the delivery process is smooth, and other factors. The degree of sweating actually indicates the severity of the mother's loss of vitality. During the puerperium, which is usually called the confinement period, if the mother can adjust her body in time, the excessive sweating can mostly heal itself. The speed of recovery will vary depending on the degree of the mother's loss of vitality.

1. Physiological perspiration: No special treatment is needed and it will get better after a few days. However, when sweating, the pores open and are susceptible to cold, causing colds.

2. Pathological hyperhidrosis: If you sweat a lot or sweat for a long time, you can use Chinese medicine to replenish qi and stop sweating under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. The doctor will prescribe medicine based on the situation. Do not take medicine at random.
