How long does it take for a pregnant woman to return to normal sweating?

After giving birth, women need to take care of their bodies. And because childbirth may cause damage to the female body, pregnant women must also be careful about postpartum complications, and postpartum sweating is one of them. So do you know how long it takes to recover from sweating during the confinement period? Let’s take a look at the answer to the question below.

How long does it take to recover from postpartum sweating?

The recovery time of postpartum sweating is related to the physical fitness of each pregnant mother. Pregnant women with good physical fitness will recover faster and can recover in 1 to 2 weeks. If the pregnant woman is in poor health, the recovery time will be increased.

Causes of postpartum sweating

1. Increased blood flow to the skin during pregnancy

During pregnancy, a lot of interstitial fluid will seep into the blood vessels, causing the blood flow to the skin to increase by 1 to 2 times compared to normal. In addition, during pregnancy, estrogen levels increase, adrenaline becomes more active, and the basic metabolism of pregnant women increases. These factors may often lead to increased blood flow.

2. To discharge unnecessary water from the body

After a pregnant woman has successfully given birth, her body's metabolism and endocrine levels will return to normal. At the same time, in order to reduce the burden on the heart and promote the recovery of the body after childbirth, the body will excrete unnecessary reserves through urination and sweating. When water is discharged in this way, the weight of the pregnant woman will also drop rapidly.

Although postpartum sweating is a normal phenomenon, if postpartum sweating is too much, causing weakness in pregnant women and affecting their normal life, then it is not a good situation.

So, what is the reason for excessive sweating after childbirth? How should pregnant women deal with the problem of excessive sweating?

1. Excessive sweating after childbirth may be caused by physical weakness. Therefore, pregnant women can supplement some light-tasting and easily digestible foods after giving birth, and drink more porridge, which is not only rich in nutrients but also easy to digest and absorb. Such as vegetable porridge, pork ribs porridge, etc. Of course, don't forget to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement the body's vitamins and enhance the body's disease resistance.

2. When you sweat a lot after giving birth, you must pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. You don't need to touch cold water after giving birth, because most of the skin pores are open after giving birth, and getting cold when exposed to cold water may cause joint pain and other symptoms. When washing hands, disinfecting and bathing, be sure to use warm water. After taking a bath, pay attention to keep warm and avoid catching cold.

3. Pregnant women should get a good rest after giving birth to speed up the body's recovery. In addition, they should maintain a good mood and never be fussy about trivial matters, let alone get angry. Otherwise, it will not only be detrimental to the body's recovery, but also affect the quality of breast milk.
