Symptoms of poor uterine recovery after normal delivery

The two main methods of childbirth are natural birth and cesarean section. After natural birth, the mother must strengthen her physical recovery. If she does not pay attention to conditioning or has poor physical fitness, it is easy to cause poor recovery of the uterus. At this time, it may cause irregular menstruation, sexual dysfunction, and even cause women to become frigid. Sometimes some symptoms of the autonomic nervous system will appear. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Symptoms of poor uterine recovery after normal delivery

1. Reproductive system: irregular menstruation, vaginal atrophy and dryness, low ovulation rate, sexual dysfunction and frigidity, etc.

2. Autonomic nervous system: hot flashes, irritability, depression, insomnia, etc.

3. Body shape, skin and hair: weight gain, sagging buttocks, bucket waist, dry skin, dullness and hair loss.

4. Reduced immunity and digestive system: prone to colds, inflammatory infections, chronic diseases, stomach discomfort, loss of appetite, and constipation.

5. Cardiovascular and urinary system: arteriosclerosis, myocardial ischemia and infarction, urethral atrophy, polyuria, frequent urination, urinary incontinence, etc.

6. Bones: cervical spondylosis, rheumatism, arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.

Several factors affecting uterine recovery

1. The placenta or fetal membrane remains in the uterine cavity. If the placenta or membranes are not completely separated, bleeding will continue, sometimes profusely.

2. Incomplete shedding of uterine decidua. The decidua usually falls off about a week after delivery. If it does not fall off completely, it can easily cause late postpartum hemorrhage.

3. Combined with endometritis or pelvic inflammation. If improper care is given after delivery, it may cause uterine or pelvic infection and long-term bleeding.

4. The uterus is overly retroflexed, making it difficult for lochia to be discharged.

5. Combined with uterine intramural tumors, uterine fibroids affect uterine contraction and increase the probability of postpartum hemorrhage.

6. If urination is improper after delivery and the bladder is overfilled, the uterus may not be able to descend into the pelvic cavity.

7. If the mother is older, in poor health, has given birth too many times or has multiple pregnancies, it will also affect the postpartum uterine recovery cycle.
