What are the follow-up items 42 days after delivery?

Women should undergo regular check-ups for a period of time after giving birth, because women will experience a series of physical discomforts after giving birth. If they are not checked in time, it may also lead to a series of gynecological diseases. Therefore, examination is indispensable and it must be done reasonably. What kind of examination should be done at what time is a question that mothers need to understand. So what are the follow-up examination items 42 days after delivery?

1. Go to the hospital for a detailed postpartum check-up 42 days after delivery. New mothers who undergo cesarean section pay more attention to various examinations such as the incision after delivery, but mothers who give birth naturally are particularly likely to ignore postpartum examinations. In fact, a thorough postpartum examination can not only detect various diseases of the mother in time, but also avoid adverse effects on the health of the baby. It is especially important for new mothers who have complications during pregnancy. The doctor will also ask the new mother some questions and perform various examinations to determine the mother's postpartum recovery, whether there is any infection in the breasts, uterus, appendages and vagina, and whether the mother's psychological and emotional state is normal after delivery.

Postpartum check-ups include many items. In addition to routine blood tests, urine tests and a full physical examination, a comprehensive gynecological and obstetric examination is also required. Gynecological and obstetric examinations mainly check the pelvic organs to see whether the uterus has returned to normal, whether the vaginal environment has returned to normal, whether the cervix is ​​eroded, whether the lacerations or sutures of the perineum and vagina have healed, etc. Women who have undergone cesarean section should pay more attention to this, as infection will occur if the sutures do not heal well. In addition, if the mother has postpartum complications, such as liver disease, heart disease, nephritis, etc., she should go to the internal medicine department for examination; mothers who have gestational hypertension during pregnancy also need to check whether their blood and urine are abnormal and whether their blood pressure is still rising to prevent it from turning into chronic hypertension. Infants who come to the hospital with their mothers should also undergo a detailed full-body examination. This examination can help us understand whether the baby's growth and development meets health standards, and can promptly detect some abnormalities that may have been missed in the hospital or newly discovered. For example, skin hemangiomas are often not obvious at birth, but are often visible at a glance during an examination 42 days after birth, so that effective measures can be taken in a timely manner. Some abnormal phenomena, such as heart murmurs, are difficult to judge whether they have practical significance when the baby is just born. However, during the follow-up visit at 42 days, a clearer judgment can often be made on the nature of the murmur.
