Is the postpartum pelvic floor muscle examination painful?

Nowadays, many people are worried about going to the hospital and are reluctant to get checked. Most of them are worried about the pain. So recently many people have asked the editor: Is it painful to have a pelvic repair examination? In fact, I can't say for sure that it doesn't hurt, because it has a lot to do with my own reasons. However, the editor can introduce to you the relevant matters related to pelvic repair examination so that you can be fully prepared in advance. It is necessary to have regular check-ups for your own health, and don't give up because of pain.

Generally, all parts of the body should have recovered to a non-pregnant state 42 days after giving birth. However, breastfeeding pregnant women are an exception. Except for the mammary glands, which need to be weaned, other organs of the body should have basically recovered to a state ready for pregnancy. If not, it proves that the body has not recovered well, but has basically taken shape.

What this means is that you should pay special attention to the confinement period before 42 days after giving birth. If you don't do it well, it may cause uterine prolapse, or cause leg pain and headache, and basically it will be like this in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to have a check-up 42 days after giving birth. It is of course accurate and is the time frame for determining whether you have recovered. The pelvic floor muscle examination is mainly to see whether there is uterine prolapse, vaginal relaxation, etc.

The perineum examination mainly checks whether there are wounds in the perineum, the wound healing condition (whether there is swelling, lump, tenderness or pressure pain), the elasticity of the perineum, whether the vaginal opening can be closed, the degree of subsidence of the perineum surface when pushing down with maximum breath holding, and its relationship with the ischial tuberosity surface.

The evaluation of pelvic floor muscle function mainly includes pelvic restorative strength and vaginal contraction pressure. The pelvic restorability is mainly evaluated by muscle contraction strength, whether it can resist frictional resistance, muscle contraction duration and fatigue value, symmetry, repeated contraction ability and rapid contraction frequency.

Rectal examination is used to evaluate whether the external anal sphincter is damaged in the resting state and in the independent contraction state. The vaginal contraction pressure indicates the comprehensive muscle tension level of the superficial and deep vaginal muscle layers.

Doctors should conduct customized analysis and differentiation of various test results to prepare for customized treatment.
