What to do if your eyes hurt after childbirth

Expectant mothers work hard to carry a baby for ten months, and then it is the best time for mothers to regulate and repair their bodies. However, there are many things mothers cannot do during this period. Moreover, during this period, mothers should also be careful not to cry. Crying will hurt the eyes and may cause problems. What can be done?

What should I do if my eyes ache from crying during confinement?

Mothers cry during the confinement period, which causes sore eyes. In this case, mothers are advised to use eye drops appropriately to relieve some fatigue. You can also do more eye exercises and massage the eye acupoints appropriately to promote local blood circulation and improve pain symptoms.

What are the common questions about confinement?

1. During the confinement period, the vulva of pregnant women is more contaminated, so use warm water to wash the vulva every day. Wash the perineal pad frequently and keep the perineum clean and dry. Postpartum lochia will clear up in about 4 to 6 weeks after giving birth.

2. Generally, you can take a bath and wash your hair one week after giving birth, but you must stick to sponge baths and not sit baths to prevent the dirty water used for bathing from entering the reproductive system and causing infection. After 6 weeks you can take a shower.

3. The room should be ventilated frequently. The room temperature should not be too high, nor should it fluctuate. In the past, it was common to keep windows and doors closed and to advise pregnant women to cover themselves with thick blankets at all times. This is very dangerous, especially in summer, as it can easily cause heatstroke in pregnant women. But be aware of the following:

During the confinement period, you should avoid being exposed to direct wind from the fan.

When turning on the air conditioner, do not point the air outlet towards the pregnant woman, and it is best to set the indoor temperature at around 25 to 28 degrees Celsius.

In addition, if your clothes become soaked due to excessive sweating during the confinement period, you must change into dry clothes immediately; prepare pajamas in front of the bed in winter, and put them on immediately when you get up late at night to breastfeed, so as not to catch a cold.

The confinement period is especially important for mothers who have just given birth to a baby. During the confinement period, mothers must pay attention to what they should pay attention to. They should not do what they should not do and eat what they should not eat, so as to avoid causing problems that will be difficult to cure later. During the confinement period, mothers should also pay attention to maintaining a calm mentality.
