How to restore uterine contraction

Pregnancy causes certain damage to a woman's uterus, because the fetus mainly grows and develops in the woman's uterus, so the uterus will gradually expand as the fetus grows. The uterus of a pregnant woman generally cannot fully recover to its pre-delivery level after giving birth, but if the uterus does not recover properly, it will have a serious impact on the female body's endocrine system. After giving birth, the uterus will promote its recovery through uterine contractions. So what effective measures should be taken at this time to make the uterus recover better?

How to restore the uterus better

1. Adhere to breastfeeding: Adhering to breastfeeding after delivery is very beneficial to the recovery of the uterus. This is because there are abundant sensory nerve endings on the nipples and areolas. The baby's sucking stimulation can be transmitted to the posterior pituitary gland in the brain through these sensory nerve endings, increasing the synthesis of oxytocin, which is then released into the blood circulation to promote the contraction of the uterine muscles, thereby accelerating the involution of the uterus.

2. Postpartum massage: After giving birth, new mothers can often gently massage their lower abdomen in a clockwise direction. By stimulating the acupoints during the massage, the excitability of the uterine muscles can be indirectly enhanced, promoting uterine contractions. In addition, massaging the sacrum and coccyx after delivery can also promote the contraction of the pelvic muscles, enhance fascia tension, and help the uterus recover.

3. Chinese medicine foot bath fumigation: Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use preparations containing motherwort, angelica and other medicinal materials to soak your feet. By stimulating the acupuncture points and meridians of the feet, the blood vessels throughout the body will dilate, promoting blood circulation throughout the body, thereby restoring the normal functions of the internal organs.

4. Low-frequency pulse electrotherapy stimulation: helps to improve microcirculation and pelvic muscles, thereby driving uterine movement and promoting the discharge of intrauterine blood congestion.

Things to note when maintaining your uterus

1. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent reproductive tract infections such as vaginitis.

2. Do not have an abortion as this may cause uterine infection or fallopian tube infection, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

3. High-quality eggs are the fundamental condition for having a healthy baby. It is recommended not to drink alcohol or smoke. Drinking soy milk can increase estrogen and has a good effect on maintaining the uterus and ovaries.

The uterus is extremely important for women. Although postpartum women's natural love of beauty is at work, mothers must relax their body and mind, exercise properly, and use scientific methods to help you quickly recover your uterus. Never use chemical pregnancy recovery products on the market. If problems arise, it will not only cause you unnecessary trouble, but may also affect your baby.
