Why does bleeding continue after a normal birth?

Many women will experience some bleeding after giving birth. This may be caused by damage to the uterus or injury to the vagina. When facing this situation, people need to pay special attention, understand the cause in detail and then prescribe the right medicine. So below we will introduce in detail why there is bleeding after a normal delivery.

This situation cannot completely rule out poor postpartum uterine involution or poor recovery of the soft birth canal, which may lead to postpartum vaginal bleeding and bleeding after intercourse.

Guidance:

It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to understand the condition of the uterus and ovaries, and then disinfect the vulva for a gynecological examination to see if there is any bleeding after intercourse caused by cervical erosion or polyps at the suture site of the vaginal laceration, and provide symptomatic treatment based on the results.

Conditions required for a normal birth:

1. The fetal position is correct. Children with correct fetal position are more likely to have a normal birth.

2. The expectant mother has a large pelvis and exercises regularly.

3. The size and weight of the fetus are appropriate.

4. The expectant mother has good physical fitness.

5. Replenish energy and strength during the production process.

6. Sufficient amniotic fluid can prevent the baby from lack of oxygen.

Principles of confinement for normal childbirth:

1. Keep warm and avoid catching cold

During the confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. The indoor temperature is 25-26℃, and the humidity is 50%-60%. Pay special attention not to blow air directly into the air conditioner. In addition, avoid contact with cold water during the confinement period. In late autumn, add clothes in time and try to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. If you catch a cold during the confinement period, it will affect the mother's physical recovery and make her prone to rheumatism and other postpartum diseases.

2. Combine work and rest

In the early days after delivery, when the mother feels weak, dizzy, and fatigued, she must stay in bed and rest more. The time she gets up should not exceed half an hour. As her strength gradually recovers, the time can be slightly extended, but it should be limited to 1-2 hours. At the same time, you should avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time during the confinement period, which will cause waist pain, back pain, leg pain, and pain in the knees and ankles.

3. Keep clean

Keep your body clean to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation. Right after giving birth, women have a lot of secretions from their private parts. They should pay attention to washing the vulva with warm water every day to ensure that the vulva is clean and hygienic, and keep the vulva dry to avoid infection. If there is a wound, it should be carefully cared for to avoid cracking and inflammation.

4. Adjust your diet

Taboo foods after normal delivery include: leeks, peppers, barley products, acidic foods, etc. These are foods that can cause milk to dry up. During the confinement period, you should eat more fruits and vegetables every day to help your body recover quickly.
