How many days should I wash my hair after I have been pregnant?

The older generation says that you can’t wash your hair during the confinement period. After a period of time, the skin pores between the hair are opened. Shampoo can easily allow moisture and coldness to invade the hair and stay there. In fact, there is no basis for this claim, but not washing your hair for a month is not only unhygienic, but may also cause scalp inflammation. With the development of modern science and ideology, women must clean their hair within a month. So, how long should I wait before I can wash my hair during the confinement period?

You can wash your hair after half a month of confinement. After half a month, many women have recovered and it is more appropriate to wash their hair with their heads tilted back. Standing up is not a big deal, but you must also be careful not to catch a cold. Therefore, you can wash your hair after half a month of confinement.

Medical care during confinement

Under normal circumstances, you should pay attention to your lifestyle during the confinement period. So how can we provide good medical care during the confinement period?

Take rest

It takes about a month for the uterus to recover. Generally speaking, you should rest for half a month after miscarriage. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days, after which you can wake up and slowly increase your activity levels. Be sure to pay attention to your life routine, ensure 8 hours of sleep a day, and don't always feel depressed and sleep poorly. If there are too many poor sleep quality, you must adjust yourself. Don't do physical work or exercise too early to avoid excessive fatigue, which can easily cause uterine prolapse.

Pay attention to your physical and mental health

After a miscarriage, cleanliness and hygiene are a big deal and must be taken seriously. Pay special attention to the hygiene of the reproductive organs and make sure to take a bath.

1. Clean your private parts. There is a lot of secretion after abortion, and the vagina has become a breeding ground for bacteria infection, so we must pay attention to keeping the sexual organ area clean, clean it with warm water once or twice a day.

2. Change your underwear. To keep your clothes clean, your underwear should be washed frequently and exposed to the sun frequently. Remember to change your sanitary napkins to keep your vulva dry and clean.

3. Taking a bath is strictly prohibited. Because there is a lot of secretions (or blood), it is best to take a bath. Do not take a bath before cleaning the bleeding to prevent turbid water from being injected into the vagina and causing infection.

4. Stop having sex. It is best to stop having sex within one month after pregnancy and delivery to prevent sexual organ infection.

5. Pay attention to bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, you must see a doctor. Also pay attention to whether the stomach is injured. All abnormal phenomena must be taken seriously. You should pay attention to good contraceptive methods. Sexual intercourse should be strictly prohibited after a period of miscarriage. Even if you get pregnant in the future, you must avoid sexual intercourse after March and July in order to prevent habitual miscarriage during sex. Miscarriage may accelerate ovulation, but the uterine wall needs 4 to 5 months to recover. Therefore, during this period, "miscarriage" is not allowed again, which is very harmful to the growth and development of the fetus and subsequent production. Couples should improve their contraceptive methods and, under the guidance of a doctor, adopt appropriate contraceptive measures or sterilization measures. Do not ignore daily contraceptive measures and regular maternity care.

6. Don’t touch cold water. When you are in confinement, you cannot use cold water like you would during normal childbirth, as the body's immune system is very low. You can't do physical work either, as that will delay the energy recovery process and increase the recovery time. We must also be careful when eating apples. Some fruits cannot be eaten when they are very cold, just like drinking cold water.
