What is postpartum uterine myometrial vasodilation?

When a woman is pregnant, there will be some changes in various aspects of her body to better help the development of the fetus. As we all know, the organ where the fetus grows is the woman's uterus. There will be some changes at this time and it will slowly recover after a period of time after delivery. Some women will find something unusual in their bodies during postpartum check-ups and worry about getting sick. What is the reason for postpartum uterine myometrial vasodilation? This is what many women want to know.

During pregnancy, the blood supply to the uterus must increase! The blood vessels must normally thicken! Postpartum examinations may show that the blood vessels have not fully recovered and are dilated!

Pay attention to body temperature and blood pressure on the first day after delivery. In the first 24 hours after delivery, the mother's body temperature will rise slightly, generally not exceeding 38°C. After this, the mother's body temperature will mostly return to normal range. Due to the cessation of uterine-placental circulation and bed rest, the mother's pulse is slightly slow, about 60 to 70 times per minute; breathing is 14 to 16 times per minute; blood pressure is stable and does not change much.

The blood pressure of patients with the syndrome dropped significantly. Just after giving birth, the mother will experience paroxysmal pain in the lower abdomen due to uterine contractions. This is called "postpartum uterine pain" and usually disappears naturally after 2 to 3 days.

Get a good rest: After giving birth, many women will be overjoyed and feel very satisfied when they see their babies. Then, due to the fatigue of giving birth, they will unconsciously feel sleepy. At this time, you can close your eyes and rest or take a nap.

The first thing to do after delivery is to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. After the fetus is delivered, vaginal bleeding reaches or exceeds 500 ml within 24 hours, which is called postpartum hemorrhage. The causes are related to uterine atony, retained or residual placenta, birth canal damage, etc. If there is heavy vaginal bleeding, you should notify your doctor, find out the cause, and deal with it promptly.

Because they need to feed the baby for the first time, medical staff also have to do postpartum care, and mothers who give birth naturally also need to eat something.

The baby can be allowed to suck the nipple half an hour after delivery, which can establish lactation and milk ejection reflex as early as possible and promote milk secretion. At the same time, it is also beneficial to uterine contraction. The ideal breastfeeding time is 5-10 minutes. On the first day after delivery, you can breastfeed every 1 to 3 hours. The time and frequency of breastfeeding depends on the needs of the baby and the mother's feeling of breast fullness.
