How does uterine massage treat?

Ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery. As a pregnant woman, giving birth is very hard, and you need to give the uterus, which undergoes the greatest changes during pregnancy, a good rest. During the confinement period, you should pay attention to the recovery of the uterus. Postpartum rest is also very important. If the uterus is not well repaired, it will cause harm to the body. What methods can help the uterus recover? Let me show you how uterine massage is used for treatment.

During the postpartum confinement period, you should pay attention to the discharge of lochia and the recovery of the uterus in order to understand the recovery status of the uterus. Think about it, before pregnancy, the size of the uterus is like your fist (about 50 grams). In order to nurture a new life, it expands to a very large size (about 1000 grams). After the fetus is delivered, the uterus is like a deflated ball, and it still takes some time to return to its pre-pregnancy condition.

Breastfeeding and massage help the uterus to recover. After pregnancy, the uterus continues to expand, and its weight can increase significantly from 50 grams before pregnancy to 5000 grams at full term, but it will not rupture, which shows that the uterus has great elasticity. Under normal circumstances, the uterus of a pregnant woman can return to its original size after giving birth, but for some people the uterus cannot return to its original size, resulting in uterine hypertrophy. Giving birth to three or more children is considered multiple births, and the uterus will usually be larger than before.

The mother puts her hands around her belly button and touches to find the location of the uterus. If she cannot feel a round hard lump in her abdomen, she needs to do a circular uterine massage to accelerate the contraction of the uterus. As the uterus contracts, lochia will be discharged from the body. Since the hardening of the uterus indicates good contraction, women who give birth naturally should be massaged at any time within 24 hours after delivery, and the massage cannot be stopped until the uterus becomes hard.

After understanding the relevant knowledge of uterine massage therapy, uterine massage can not only induce uterine contraction, but also prevent postpartum hemorrhage. From this it can be seen that uterine massage still has many benefits, but it must be massaged in the correct way and the acupoints must be found for massage to have a promoting effect, otherwise there may be other adverse effects.
