The uterus has not recovered well.

Because of giving birth or having an abortion, girls' uterus may not recover well, which may cause some problems with the uterus. For example, many people experience abnormal menstrual flow, delayed menstruation, pain during menstruation, increased leucorrhea, and vaginal inflammation. When the uterus does not recover well, we will teach you how to restore the uterus properly to prevent it from leaving sequelae to the body.

Four tips to help your uterus recover

After giving birth, the uterus in our body feels relieved and starts to regulate itself, gradually returning to its original state. So how should we help the uterus recover?

First, let’s take a look at how the uterus recovers! This thing gets stretched out when you're pregnant, so it keeps shrinking during the recovery period. During the process of giving birth, it "vomits" the baby and the placenta one by one through contraction. Next, it vomits out the blood accumulated in the uterus, which is "lochia". In the continuous contraction, the blood gradually coagulates into blood clots, and the body no longer bleeds. Finally, the uterus will "vomit" out these blood clots together and return to its original size in about 20 days.

Next, let's take a look at how to help the uterus recover. There are mainly the following methods:

1. Massage + astringent

As mentioned above, the uterus recovers through constant contractions, and we can also help it recover through massage and taking contraction drugs. You can learn from your doctor how to massage the fundus of the uterus to stimulate the uterine muscles, help the body expel lochia, and empty the uterus. If you find that there is too much bleeding in your lower body, you can use a contraction agent, which can quickly help the mother adjust her body and return to normal as soon as possible.

2. Shenghua Tang

When it comes to Shenghua Tang, you must be familiar with it. After giving birth, the elders in the family will give the mother a bowl of it, and the purpose is also to help the uterus recover. In fact, compared with contraction agents, the main effect of this soup is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, replenish blood and qi, and it is very suitable for drinking during the confinement period. The contraction agent is used to prevent excessive bleeding after giving birth. Therefore, drinking Shenghua Tang is very helpful about 40 days after delivery.

3. Postpartum exercise

In addition to the recovery of the uterus, the pelvis also needs to be recovered. If the pelvis does not recover well, it will bring multiple troubles to your future self, such as back pain, lower abdominal distension, urinary incontinence, etc. In terms of pelvic recovery, you must pay attention to avoiding high-intensity labor as much as possible, such as moving rubbish, squatting, etc. These actions should not be performed within 6 months after giving birth.

Although high-intensity labor is not allowed, simple postpartum exercises are still necessary. Postpartum exercise can help the recovery of the uterus and pelvis. About seven days after giving birth, you can do some simple exercises such as lifting your legs, deep breathing, and lifting your hips.
