Dear Mamas,

Have you noticed that after giving birth, not only has your daily routine drastically changed, but your body has also undergone many changes? Issues like diastasis recti and pelvic floor weakening… do you feel different from before? Due to the baby’s relatively large head, childbirth inevitably causes varying degrees of damage to the mother’s abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, vagina, and even the anal sphincter, sometimes leading to pubic symphysis separation. Without timely recovery, these issues can leave lasting problems, such as incontinence, which many mothers experience after giving birth.

Incontinence may not sound serious, but since it often occurs without your awareness, it can prevent you from exercising freely, working normally, or even coughing, sneezing, and laughing without caution. Besides, a mother’s body becomes particularly weak after childbirth. As stated in the “Jingyue Complete Book · Women’s Regulations”: “After childbirth, both qi and blood are depleted, leading to many deficiencies…” Postpartum blood loss results in both qi and blood deficiencies, with the spleen being the most affected organ.

The spleen is the source of qi and blood production. It governs blood and ascends the clear qi. Qi and blood deficiency impacts spleen function, causing insufficient qi and blood production, leading to fatigue and weakness. Additionally, the spleen’s inability to control blood may result in menstrual disorders, excessive menstrual flow, and bleeding. A weakened spleen can’t support the internal organs, leading to symptoms like weak speech, post-meal bloating, and even uterine prolapse.

The liver stores blood and regulates blood volume. The liver’s yin function supports its yang use. Postpartum blood loss affects liver function, leading to excessive menstrual flow and prolonged periods. Liver dysfunction can also cause postpartum depression due to disrupted qi flow. Studies show that postpartum depression affects up to 50% of new mothers in China, with some extreme cases leading to suicide.

The kidneys store essence and are the root of life, the source of blood production. Qing dynasty physician Yang Fengtian stated in “Lung Wan Xin Fa”: “The source of blood is in the kidneys…”, and “Hair is the excess of blood, the kidneys manifest in the hair.” This explains why many women experience significant hair loss after childbirth. Childbirth depletes essence and blood, as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation all rely on essence and blood. This can lead to kidney deficiency, causing symptoms like back and knee soreness, cold extremities, dizziness, and tinnitus.

Sharing these childbirth risks is not to scare anyone away from marriage or having children but to help everyone, including husbands and family members, better understand and support the women in their lives. To help mothers recover easily and regain their health and beauty, Jing TCM offers an exceptional postpartum recovery package.
