Postpartum fever is a condition that can occur in women following childbirth. It is characterized by an elevated body temperature, typically indicating an underlying infection or inflammation.
This symptom is a natural response of the body's immune system but can also be a sign of more serious health issues, such as infection in the reproductive organs or urinary tract. Understanding and addressing the cause of postpartum fever is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of the new mother.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches postpartum fever as an imbalance in the body's natural harmony. In TCM, fever is often seen as a manifestation of internal disharmonies, potentially arising from factors such as energy (Qi) Stagnation, Blood Deficiency, or the invasion of external pathogens.
TCM emphasizes the importance of identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony to effectively address postpartum fever, focusing on holistic treatment to restore balance and health.
