Treatment of postpartum urinary difficulties

Many women experience difficulty urinating after childbirth. In this case, timely treatment is necessary, because if difficulty urinating is not treated in time, it will cause serious damage to the bladder and the entire body. Therefore, for many women who have difficulty urinating after childbirth, after understanding the treatment method, they should undergo effective treatment as soon as possible to restore normal urination.

The focus of treatment is prevention. Before and during delivery, the bladder should be avoided from being overfilled and over-inflated. Active treatment should be taken to avoid prolonged labor and reduce the pressure of the fetal head on the bladder. Those with cephalopelvic disproportion should be detected early and cesarean section should be performed in time. For those who undergo episiotomy, the tightness of the suture should be appropriate, not too tight, to reduce pain in the wound. Those who undergo cesarean section should use analgesics multiple times at appropriate times. The mother should be encouraged and helped to get up and urinate 2 hours after delivery. The patient can drink 500-800 ml of water about 1 hour after delivery to fill the bladder in a short time, produce strong stimulation and urination reflex, induce the urge to urinate, and urinate automatically after 2-3 hours. In this way, urination is done once every 3-4 hours. The bladder function can be restored within 24 hours, and urine retention will not occur.

In terms of diet, radish and crucian carp soup has the effect of promoting urination. Radish is a diuretic, and crucian carp promotes the secretion of milk. It can be eaten regularly after childbirth. For patients with urinary retention, catheterization should not be considered first. Every effort should be made to enable the patient to urinate on his own, and physical and drug methods should be used first.
