Why do you sweat a lot during confinement?

Many women will sweat a lot after giving birth and during the confinement period, regardless of whether the weather is hot or cool. We all know that excessive sweating is not normal. So many people will have questions, why do mothers sweat a lot during the confinement period? Let’s briefly talk about the reasons for excessive sweating during confinement.

New mothers sweat a lot after giving birth because the blood volume in their bodies increases after pregnancy, most of which is water. The skin excretes vigorously after giving birth, so the water in the body will be discharged from the body. To discharge the water in the body, one can urinate more, and the other is to discharge it through sweating through the skin. Therefore, many new mothers not only go to the toilet more frequently after giving birth, but also often sweat a lot on their skin. At the same time, new mothers will find that their weight decreases rapidly in about 1 week after giving birth.

The condition of new mothers sweating a lot will generally improve gradually in about 10 days after delivery. Although sweating a lot is a normal phenomenon, you should also pay attention to care at this time. So how should you care?

The indoor temperature should not be too high. If it is too hot, you will sweat more. No matter what season it is, the temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees. In summer, it is best to keep it below 28 degrees.

The room should be kept ventilated and the air circulating every day so that the new mother will be in better health. However, while ventilating the room, the new mother can go to another room and must not blow cold air towards the window.

New mothers who give birth naturally can take a bath on the second day after delivery. The bath here refers to a shower. Never take a tub bath, which will cause infection. The bathing time should be shortened as much as possible and not too long. New mothers who give birth by caesarean section can use boiled water, let it cool down and then scrub their body, and then take a shower after the wound on the belly is completely healed.

The above article introduces the reasons why mothers sweat a lot during the confinement period. In addition to these reasons, it is also related to environmental factors and emotional factors. The mother's anxiety, tension, and uneasiness can also cause increased sweating. In addition, if the ambient temperature is too high or the indoor environment is not breathable, it will also cause the mother to sweat a lot. So pay attention to improving the temperature of the environment.
