Nursing measures for postpartum hemorrhage: How to replenish the body after postpartum hemorrhage?

Postpartum hemorrhage refers to vaginal bleeding of more than 500 ml within 24 hours after delivery, which is a common complication after delivery. Severe postpartum hemorrhage can threaten the health and life of the mother, so correct postpartum care and appropriate tonic methods are essential for the prevention and care of postpartum hemorrhage.

1. Causes of postpartum hemorrhage

The causes of postpartum hemorrhage can be multifaceted, including uterine atony, birth canal injury, retained placenta, coagulation disorders, etc. Uterine atony may be due to the inability of the uterine muscles to contract effectively to stop bleeding, and birth canal injury may be caused by trauma or surgical operations during delivery. Retained placenta refers to the placental tissue that remains in the uterus after delivery, which can affect the normal contraction and recovery of the uterus. Coagulation disorders may be caused by a lack of coagulation factors or abnormal function. These factors may lead to postpartum hemorrhage, which may endanger the life of the mother in severe cases. Therefore, these causes need to be identified and treated promptly and effectively in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.

Second, nursing measures for postpartum hemorrhage

If it is found to exceed the normal range, the doctor should be notified in time. Pay attention to whether the bleeding is accompanied by blood clots, odor, and other abnormal conditions, and take necessary nursing measures in time. Excessive bleeding in the mother may be accompanied by anemia symptoms, such as dizziness, fatigue, etc., which need to be treated in time. Correct monitoring of bleeding can help early detection and early treatment of postpartum hemorrhage and ensure the health of the mother.

Pressing the uterine area and pushing upward from the lower abdomen can help stimulate the contraction of uterine smooth muscle. At the same time, mothers need to follow the doctor's advice to use uterine contraction drugs regularly to help strengthen contraction and stop bleeding. Proper promotion of uterine contraction can effectively reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage and promote the recovery of the mother's body.

3. Keep the mother in bed. It is very important to keep the mother in bed during postpartum hemorrhage. Bed rest can reduce the uterine pressure caused by activity, help uterine contraction and stop bleeding. The mother should try to avoid excessive activity and fatigue, maintain proper rest, and provide a good recovery environment for the mother. At the same time, a reasonable lying position can also reduce the mother's physical discomfort and pain, thereby promoting physical recovery.

At the same time, some Chinese medicines such as Angelica, Codonopsis, and Chuanxiong can be used to replenish blood and Qi and promote physical recovery. When regulating Qi and blood, it is necessary to reasonably choose food and medicinal materials according to personal physical condition and doctor's advice to avoid excessive or improper adverse reactions.

4. Exercise properly. Proper exercise after childbirth is very important for replenishing qi and blood and physical recovery.
