What causes the uterus to not contract?

Uterine contractions are relatively unfamiliar to ordinary women, but they are the most normal thing for postpartum women. Generally speaking, uterine contractions can recover on their own and no treatment is required. But in real life, some women's uterine contractions are not very good, which is extremely harmful. So the question is, what is the reason for the uterus not to contract?

After giving birth, women enter the postpartum period. At this time, women are more vulnerable and need more care and attention. However, many women suffer from poor uterine contraction due to the following reasons.

1. In the late pregnancy, the fetus in the woman's uterus has gradually grown and can easily compress the bladder, reducing the tension of the bladder muscles. As a result, the contraction of the uterus cannot get the support of nearby muscles, resulting in insufficient strength. Moreover, women are more likely to suffer from pelvic infections during the postpartum period, and the disease can also cause problems with uterine contractions.

2. The female vagina is normally acidic, which is the female body's defense mechanism that can resist viral invasion. However, in some special periods, the defense is easily broken, such as during menstruation, childbirth, and after miscarriage. When protection is inadequate, viruses and bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and may cause inflammation of the endometrium, which has a great impact on uterine contractions.

3. If the placenta and fetal membranes remain in the uterus after delivery, it will affect the normal contraction of the uterus.

Poor uterine contraction is usually caused by the above reasons. After understanding them, female friends should take targeted prevention measures to reduce the possibility of their occurrence.

How to promote uterine contraction

Uterine contractions help women's uterus return to normal state as quickly as possible after delivery. And pregnant women can use some methods to promote the contraction of the uterus.

1. Women should get enough rest after giving birth. Do not squat or stand for too long, otherwise it may cause the uterus to move downward and cause uterine prolapse.

2. During the postpartum period, women can promote uterine contraction by performing warming exercises. It is best to do it every other day, and the time can be chosen before going to bed.

3. Swimming is very helpful in enhancing the ability of uterine contractions. If you swim more often in your free time, the intensity of uterine contractions will be significantly increased. Swimming not only enhances uterine contraction, but is also beneficial for maintaining the temperature in the uterus. However, it should be noted that if women want to swim, they must wait until they are out of the postpartum period and are sure that swimming will not cause any adverse effects on them.

4. When women walk briskly, they can speed up the blood circulation in the uterus. Brisk walking for 30 minutes a day can increase the blood circulation in the uterus by 10%, which is a good auxiliary effect on uterine contraction.

Postpartum women can use the above methods to promote the contraction of the uterus to achieve the purpose of rapid recovery of the uterus. As long as they can persist for a period of time, there will be good results.
