How to promote uterine contraction during cesarean section

With the opening of people's ideas and the development of medical technology, cesarean section has become a mode of delivery chosen by many pregnant women today. However, pregnant women who undergo cesarean section need to take measures to promote uterine contractions after the cesarean section. Therefore, in order to help women who undergo cesarean section promote uterine contractions, this article specifically introduces several methods for women who undergo cesarean section to choose from.

1. Uterine massage + Chinese and Western medicine uterine contraction agent

2. Uterine contraction agent vs. Shenghua decoction

According to clinical experience, after childbirth, the uterus will naturally contract and discharge blood. If excessive postpartum bleeding is found, the use of uterine contraction agents is the best option because the effect will be exerted faster. As for the use of Shenghua Tang, it is the wisdom of our ancestors, but there is no need to shroud it in mystery. The ingredients of Shenghua Tang itself have the effect of removing blood stasis and replenishing blood in traditional Chinese medicine. After the blood stasis (blood clots) are removed, the uterus will naturally contract. Therefore, Shenghua Tang is more suitable for health care during the postpartum period. Therefore, the main purpose of using contractiles in medical treatment is to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, while Shenghua Tang has a significant effect in "helping" the uterus to recover during the postpartum period.

As mentioned earlier, the reduction in uterine size and the decrease to disappearance of lochia are indicators of uterine recovery, so some people often attribute lower abdominal protrusion to poor uterine contraction. In fact, this is not the case. The reason why the belly of a postpartum woman cannot be eliminated is often because the skin of the belly is stretched loose during pregnancy and cannot shrink. In fact, the uterus of most postpartum women still contracts normally; but if you can still feel a mass in the lower abdomen, it may be that the uterus is not contracting well. But in fact, we also need to look at the reduction of lochia. Sometimes the volume of the uterus does not shrink because of uterine fibroids. These all need to be checked in the hospital. If the uterus is really contracting poorly, the main danger is that it will cause postpartum hemorrhage, which is something that really needs attention.

3. Nipple stimulation can help the uterus contract

Avoid exerting force on the lower abdomen after childbirth and do postpartum exercises

In a broad sense, uterine recovery, in fact, in addition to the restoration of the shape of the uterus, its position in the pelvic cavity must also be restored to its state before delivery, that is, the loose connective tissue must slowly restore its original elasticity. The pelvic tissues after childbirth will certainly relax to a certain extent, but if they do not recover well, the lower body will feel like it is falling, and you will be prone to back pain, which can also easily lead to urinary incontinence. Problems like this are usually not cured by medication or care. Instead, you must avoid exerting force on your lower body, such as lifting heavy objects and squatting. These movements should be avoided as much as possible within six months after delivery. However, doing some postpartum exercises (such as deep abdominal breathing, and lifting your legs and hips while lying on a hard bed one week after delivery, or doing knee-chest exercises) can effectively contract and recover the uterus and lower abdomen.
