- CIMICIFUGA.
Cimicifuga
comes to mind at once for after pains when they are very intense, when
they are worse about the region of the groin, and the patient is
sensitive and cannot tolerate them.This intolerance of the pains suggests
Chamomilla,
which is a remedy to be thought of here ; also Pulsatilla ;
the temperament of these two remedies will distinguish them.
- GELSEMIUM.
Gelsemium
.
Hughes
was accustomed to rely on this remedy in the 1x
for after pains.
Its acts best in very sensitive women who cannot
compel quiet or sleep.
Caulophyllum
is another remedy which is useful for after pains.
They are spasmodic in character and fly across the
lower part of the abdomen.
It comes in especially after a prolonged and
exhausting labor.
It is a specific for false labor pains.
Arnica
is a remedy usually prescribed in a routine way after labor for the
soreness of the parts, and it is a very useful remedy in after pains.
Xanthoxylum, clinically
,
has proved very efficacious.
If the pains are intestinal rather than uterine,
Cocculus
will be found useful ; and if they press on the rectum and
bladder Nux
is the remedy.
Bellis perennis
.
Soreness all through the pelvis after labor ; the patient cannot
walk or stand ; bones seem to be giving away.
Sabina
and Sepia
may also be indicated by their peculiar pains, those of Sabina
shooting from behind forwards, and those of Sepia
shooting upwards and accompanied by weight in the lower bowel.
