Postpartum lochia discharge stomach like dysmenorrhea

After giving birth, women's bodies will have lochia discharged from their bodies, and the amount of lochia is the highest in the first three days. It gradually decreases until it disappears completely, during which time it indicates that the woman's uterus has contracted and returned to its normal shape. So will the abdomen hurt after giving birth and lochia discharge? Does the abdomen feel like menstrual pain after giving birth and lochia discharge? Let's have a simple understanding and understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

During the lochia discharge period, women will indeed feel pain in their abdomen, and the pain will be more severe right after delivery, and gradually the pain will ease and even disappear. In order to expel postpartum lochia from the body as soon as possible, after delivery, the nurse will press the pregnant woman's abdomen gently, which will be very painful.

Especially for women who have cesarean section, the pain will be more severe than that of natural birth due to the wound on the abdomen. However, whether the woman has a caesarean section or chooses a natural birth, she needs to use gentle pressing after giving birth to help the uterus repair and discharge the lochia from the body faster, which can also help the woman's body repair faster.

In addition to a little abdominal pain during lochia discharge, breastfeeding will also cause uterine contractions, so women will also feel pain. When in pain, women must endure it until their bodies recover, and the pain will naturally subside. A few days before giving birth, the doctor will judge the woman's recovery status based on the amount of bleeding. If the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal range, it is likely caused by postpartum hemorrhage and must be taken seriously.

Under normal circumstances, lochia will be discharged from the vagina in stages after delivery. Uterine contractions are required when lochia is discharged. Only through uterine contractions can the lochia in the uterine cavity be compressed and discharged. In most cases of lochia discharge, mild abdominal pain is caused, but the severity of abdominal pain varies from woman to woman. Some women may have severe abdominal pain, like menstrual cramps. This condition is mostly normal, and the pain will become less severe as time goes by. However, if the pain is more obvious every time lochia is discharged, an ultrasound should be performed immediately to see if there is any actual residue in the uterine cavity.
