The mammary glands should be "open" during the "small confinement period"

During the "confinement period", the newly developed mammary glands stop growing, the alveoli become smaller and even disappear, and the mammary glands recover. However, this recovery is usually incomplete, so it is easy to induce lobular hyperplasia of the breast. Causes breast lumps and breast pain. “Pain occurs when there is blockage”. If you dredge the meridians as soon as possible, the suddenly stagnant Qi and blood will start flowing again. You can avoid breast lumps and breast pain caused by improper "confinement".

Commonly used "tong" methods include "abortion protection soup" and so on.

The uterus should be protected during the confinement period

The mother's endometrium is inevitably damaged during the "confinement period". Those who have seen artificial "abortions" should be most impressed by the damage to the cervix during the operation. The wounds to the cervix cause the uterus' own resistance to decline. The cervix itself is a susceptible site for HPV infection, and modern science has confirmed that HPV infection is directly related to cervical cancer.

During the confinement period, the uterus should be fully protected, including increasing the resistance of the uterus, promoting rapid repair of the uterus, and completely expelling blood stasis. You can use the "Abortion Protection Soup" alone.

Rest and diet during the period of confinement

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that: "The care required for a miscarriage is ten times that of a normal birth", which means that abortion or miscarriage suddenly terminates the normal physiological process of the human body, which causes greater harm than a normal delivery, so you must pay attention to care. Although it doesn’t mean you have to stay in bed for 10 months, you should at least stay in bed for half a month after a miscarriage.

Try to eat well, sleep well, pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhance the body's resistance to disease, and promote the early repair of damaged organs. After abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery. You should take dietary supplements immediately; do not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. If conditions permit, you can refer to the normal postpartum diet. In addition, you should follow the taboos after childbirth in your daily life, do not take a bath, do not drink cold drinks, keep warm clothes, and avoid catching a cold.

It is not advisable to get angry or tired. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion. Do not engage in heavy physical labor, move things, lift heavy objects, and avoid strenuous exercise within half a month after the abortion. Do not end the rest period early. It is best for mothers who have had a natural or artificial abortion to rest and recuperate for about 21 to 30 days. Ensure physical recovery. Of course, there is no need to stay in bed all day, as this is not conducive to the discharge of lochia.

You should wash your private parts with warm water every day. More importantly, you should avoid sexual intercourse and take contraceptive measures. You should also pay special attention to bathing.
