Ways to help your uterus recover

The uterus is the place where children are conceived. It is very important for a woman. After giving birth, the recovery of the uterus is related to whether a woman's body is healthy. So what are the ways to help the uterus recover after giving birth? The following content answers this question in detail. Let’s take a look together.

Method 1: Urinate in time. After delivery, doctors often advise mothers to urinate as soon as possible, usually within 4 hours after delivery. Because during delivery, the bladder is compressed, the mucosa is congested, muscle tension is reduced, and the perineal wound is painful. Reasons such as not being used to urinating in bed can easily lead to urinary retention, which can cause bladder enlargement, hinder uterine contraction and cause postpartum hemorrhage or cystitis.

Method 2: Don’t stay in bed during the postpartum period. The elderly always insist on staying in bed after giving birth, fearing that they will catch a cold. However, 6 to 8 hours after giving birth, it is best for the mother not to stay in bed after the fatigue is eliminated. Try to get out of bed and move around the next day, which is conducive to the recovery of physiological functions and physical strength, and helps the recovery of the uterus and the discharge of lochia.

Method three: lactation stimulation. Nipple stimulation can also help the uterus contract. Therefore, it is a good idea to let your baby eat breast milk as soon as possible after delivery. As long as the baby sucks, the uterus will contract. The baby's frequent sucking and frequent production of this reflex stimulation will accelerate the recovery of the uterus. Mothers who are not breastfeeding can also stimulate their nipples by massaging their breasts or applying hot compresses to their breasts.

Method 4: Don’t be a dirty mother. Bathing after childbirth is beneficial to the mother. If it is a normal delivery, bathing can prevent bacteria from staying in the vulva wound and the surrounding area, and can also promote blood circulation in the vulva wound, which is beneficial to wound healing. If it is a cesarean section, and the method used is a transverse skin incision and subcutaneous suture, then water will never enter the wound during bathing. Just put a piece of gauze on the surface of the wound to prevent water from directly hitting the wound. Of course, the wound is very delicate after all, so after bathing, the wound should be re-dressed and do not rub the wound back and forth with a wet towel.
