What causes bed-wetting after childbirth?

For some pregnant women, daily maintenance is mainly to enable the fetus to grow quickly and be born smoothly. Moreover, the body will not change during the entire pregnancy, so if you find any abnormalities, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor in time. So, some pregnant women actually wet the bed after giving birth. Why is this?

Postpartum urinary incontinence is a common disease among women. When a woman is giving birth, the muscles of the fetus passing through the birth canal are strained, causing the pelvis to relax and atrophy. The normal function of the vagina cannot be performed, so urine will leak out when sneezing or laughing, which is what we often call postpartum bed-wetting.

For women with urinary incontinence, it is necessary to adjust their bodies in time. Generally speaking, the younger the age at which the condition occurs, the easier it is to recover. Some anal lifting exercises after childbirth can relieve urinary incontinence. Persistent exercise can help you heal yourself or allow your body to recover as soon as possible. For women, postpartum urinary incontinence usually takes about 3 months for the body to recover.

In fact, postpartum urinary incontinence can be prevented by doing a good job. You should pay attention to health care before delivery, handle delivery correctly, and cooperate with doctors to repair it in time. After delivery, you should do health exercises and more physical exercise to repair the pelvic floor tissue as soon as possible. If necessary, you can also choose surgery for treatment.
