What to do if the uterus is not in the right place after childbirth

I believe every woman is very happy psychologically when she is pregnant, and of course she will be even happier after giving birth to a baby. However, many problems will occur one after another afterwards, such as poor uterine involution after childbirth. A female friend of mine had this situation some time ago, but at that time I guessed that it was because she ate a dry diet while in the hospital. Perhaps my judgment was wrong. Later we found a famous doctor and listened to what the doctor said. I hope to share it with you today. So let’s talk about what is poor postpartum involution?

Weak uterine contraction after delivery, resulting in retained placenta, or continued lochia 3 to 4 weeks after delivery, is called poor postpartum uterine involution, also known as incomplete uterine involution. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "retention of placenta after delivery" and "continued lochia after delivery". If the placenta is not delivered after delivery, that is, the placenta is not completely separated, it can easily cause heavy bleeding and the patient should be hospitalized for treatment immediately. Lochia refers to the vaginal discharge after delivery or abortion, including blood in the uterine cavity, necrotic fetal membrane tissue and cervical mucus. Under normal circumstances, lochia has a bloody smell, is red and has a large amount 3 to 4 days after delivery. It will gradually turn into light red, turn into yellow about 2 weeks after delivery, and be completely clear in 3 to 4 weeks. If dark red fluid or blood still flows out of the vagina for more than 4 weeks, it is called lochia. It is mostly caused by prolonged labor, which makes the uterus unable to recover after delivery.

Home treatment:

1. Massage: overlap your palms and place them flat on your lower abdomen. Rub in a clockwise direction for 30 circles with a little force, and then rub in a counterclockwise direction for 30 circles. Then use your thumbs to massage the Qihai and Guanyuan points for 1 minute each. Finally, place your palms flat on your lower abdomen, overlap your hands, with the left hand below and the right hand above. Press your abdomen hard while inhaling, and cooperate with maximum abdominal breathing. That is, when you inhale, let your abdomen bulge as much as possible, and when you exhale, let your abdomen sink as much as possible. 15 minutes each time, twice a day.

2. Moxibustion: Take an appropriate amount of finely ground salt and spread it evenly on the navel. Place a moxa stick the size of a mung bean in the center of the salt layer and light it for moxibustion. Do this 3 to 7 times each time. Generally, 3 times is used. If there is continuous bleeding in the vagina, 7 times can be used.

3. Scraping: Take Dazhui, Jianjing, Dazhui, Gaomang and Shentang points, and scrape the Qihai to Guanyuan to Zhongji, Diji, Jianshi and Taichong meridian points, and scrape the above meridian points for 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Application: ① Take 50 grams of Fuluo liver, 15 grams of licorice, and appropriate amount of vinegar. First grind the liver of Fuluo into fine powder, mix it with vinegar to make a paste, and boil licorice for later use. Apply the prepared medicinal paste to Shenque and Guanyuan acupoints, fix the navel with adhesive tape, and then drink the licorice soup while it is hot. The placenta will come out in about 10 to 15 minutes. ② 21 castor beans and a little bit of Yuan Cun, pound them together and apply them to Shenque point. ③ Take an appropriate amount of soil from the heart of the stove, mix it with vinegar, and put it into the navel.

The above describes the specific situation of poor postpartum recovery in pregnant women. I hope that this weakness can be of great help to many women suffering from this disease, and allow you to take good care of your body after delivery. Don’t worry about it yourself. This is just a small disease and it is very easy to treat. Only when we understand its cause and condition, we will have a better way to treat them. Keep your mood cheerful and stable, which will also be good for the baby. I hope pregnant women will have a happy life after delivery.
