Is it difficult to defecate after delivery? That's probably why.

Poor defecation after delivery, feeling difficult? This may be "postpartum defecation difficulty". Postpartum weakness, intestinal dryness, or poor conduction of large intestine caused by qi deficiency may all lead to this problem. This article will introduce the causes of postpartum constipation and Chinese medicine treatment.

Dry blood and body fluids

Excessive blood loss during childbirth, intestinal water loss, and vaginal fluid loss in the body cause unbearable intestinal dryness. Symptoms include dry stool, dry skin and dry mouth. Treatment requires nourishing blood and increasing fluid, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Siwu decoction and zengye decoction can be selected, and raw Polygonum Multiflori Radix, Herba Cistanches, Semen Platycladi and Fructus Cannabis can also be added.

Intestinal knot due to qi deficiency

The deficiency of qi in the constitution itself, or excessive gas consumption during childbirth, leads to weak conduction in the large intestine. Symptoms include constipation, qi deficiency and weakness. Treatment needs to replenish qi and nourish blood, moisten the intestines and relax the bowels. Yu Sheng soup can be selected, and medicinal materials such as honey, almond and dark plum can also be added.

Traditional therapy in China

In the course of treatment, excessive use of bitter cold and purgative drugs should be avoided to avoid damaging vaginal fluid and middle qi. For more information, it is recommended to consult the professional judgment and suggestions of Chinese medicine.
