The size of the uterus 42 days after delivery

Generally speaking, the first 30 days after delivery is the golden period for the recovery of the uterus, and the size of the uterus is almost finalized 42 days after delivery. We often see that the abdomen of many women after giving birth tends to become larger again. In fact, this is because they did not regulate the uterus during the golden period after delivery. Although everyone's recovery during this period is different, corresponding care measures must still be taken to ensure that the uterus recovers as before.

1. Recovery of uterine size 42 days after delivery

It takes about six to eight weeks for the uterus to return to its original size after delivery. You should urinate promptly after delivery, avoid lying down for a long time during the postpartum period, breastfeed after delivery, and pay attention to genital hygiene to avoid genital tract inflammation. After giving birth, you should not have sex for at least two months. If you had a caesarean section, it is best to consider not having sex for three months. In daily life, pay attention to dietary taboos such as spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and drink more water.

2. Uterine size

The thickness is different in different periods, okay? You are too sensitive. The size of the normal uterus: longitudinal diameter: 5.5 to 7.5 cm; anterior-posterior diameter 3 to 4 cm transverse diameter: 4.5 to 5.5 cm cervical length: 2.5 to 3 cm. The sum of the three numbers is 150 mm, or about 20 times 40 times 80.

3. Uterine contraction function

The typical uterine reaction during orgasm is the rhythmic contraction of the uterine muscles, which starts from the bottom, gradually passes through the body, and ends in the lower uterine segment. This contraction is similar to the contraction of the uterine muscle layer that occurs in the early stages of labor, except that the amplitude of the contraction is smaller and the frequency is higher. This contraction often occurs two to four seconds after the woman is subjectively aware that the orgasmic experience has begun. The intensity of the contraction parallels how the woman feels about herself.

4. Changes in the Endometrium

Generally, the endometrium is the thickest during ovulation and can reach 0.8 to 1 cm. The endometrium changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle. Proliferative phase: From about the fifth to the ninth day of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium is very thin. Secretory phase: From the 15th to the 19th day of menstruation, which is one to five days after ovulation, the endometrium continues to thicken and the glands further increase in size and curvature. Around the 20th to 24th day of the menstrual cycle, which is six to ten days after ovulation, the endometrium shows a high level of secretory activity, and the curvature and expansion of the glands reach their peak. During the late secretory phase, the endometrium is about five to six millimeters thick. Premenstrual period: About the 25th to 28th day of the menstrual cycle, which is 11 to 14 days after ovulation, the thickness of the endometrium decreases by one-fifth to one-third. Menstrual period: from the first to the fourth day of the menstrual cycle, the main changes are bleeding and shedding of the endometrium.
