The best time to clean the uterus after normal delivery

Many pregnant women tend to choose natural birth during childbirth, but in some cases, mothers need to undergo a uterine curettage after natural birth to remove residual substances in the uterus and better carry out postpartum recovery. So, when is the best time to clean the uterus after a normal birth? Let’s find out below.

Under normal circumstances, after delivery, if the pregnant woman has little bleeding, she can undergo a uterine curettage within 48 hours after delivery. During this period, the pregnant woman only needs to have a certain amount of time to rest and restore her energy and strength. On the other hand, although it is an induced abortion operation, this process still consumes the energy and energy of the pregnant woman. If a pregnant woman has heavy bleeding, she should consider whether there is retained placenta or mild adhesion. If so, she should first undergo medical abortion and then uterine cleaning, remove the embryo immediately, and activate blood circulation.

In most cases, normal delivery does not require uterine curettage after medical abortion. However, if there is residue in the pregnant woman's uterus and it cannot be discharged on its own, uterine curettage after medical abortion is necessary to avoid hindering the repair of the uterine wall. Otherwise, the pregnant woman's vagina will continue to bleed repeatedly, and it is also very easy to cause vaginal infection and intrauterine adhesions. Curettage is different from abortion. Curettage is mainly used to remove tissue that is retained in the uterine cavity and cannot be discharged after abortion, thereby helping to repair the uterus and reducing the possibility of bleeding or infection in pregnant women. Although curettage after medical abortion does not require surgery, it is also a common gynecological minimally invasive surgery, so the surgery must be performed in an environment that has been strictly disinfected and sterilized.

The curettage operation is to use a specially made long-handled curette to insert into the woman's uterus to scrape out those residues that cannot be removed. Before performing the curettage operation, women need to undergo a B-ultrasound examination. Before the curettage, there was a lot of pain. However, with the development of science and technology, it is now possible to perform surgery under intravenous anesthesia for women. It should be noted that uterine curettage surgery must be performed in a professional and reliable hospital. Because uterine curettage surgery has very high requirements for the environment and experience. If the doctor uses too much force, the woman's uterus may be cut, so please be sure to choose a regular hospital.

The above is a detailed introduction to the best time for uterine cleaning after normal delivery. I hope it will be helpful to expectant mothers. If there is remnant in the uterus of a pregnant woman after a normal delivery, she must undergo medical abortion and uterine cleaning in time, and she must pay attention to choosing a reliable hospital for surgery to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery.
