What causes nausea and vomiting during confinement?

After giving birth, women are very weak and need to recuperate through confinement. If they do not do so, they are likely to suffer from postpartum diseases, which are very harmful to their health. However, some women experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting during the confinement period, but most people do not take it seriously and think it is normal. In fact, it is best to take nausea and vomiting during the confinement period seriously.

What causes nausea and vomiting during confinement?

1. Blood pressure problems

2. Insufficient blood supply to the brain: Due to insufficient blood supply in the body, the body is more prone to fatigue, dizziness or vomiting.

3. Uterine contraction and endocrine system: Postpartum nausea is related to uterine contraction and endocrine system. At this time, be careful not to eat greasy food, and use a straw to drink the soup.

4. Drug effects: Certain drugs taken by pregnant women can stimulate the chemical receptors at the bottom of the fourth ventricle to trigger the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata, which can also cause nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. In addition, the anesthesia time and amount of anesthetics will also affect the parturient and cause vomiting. Generally, the incidence of nausea and vomiting increases with the extension of the operation time. The longer the anesthesia time and the greater the amount of anesthetics, the higher the incidence.

What to do if you feel like vomiting during confinement

In the case of vomiting during cesarean section, the cause should be analyzed in a timely manner and appropriate nursing measures should be taken. Humane and effective nursing should be adopted before the operation, such as opening an effective intravenous access, changing the maternal position to prevent supine position syndrome, and psychological comfort care.

Appropriate care should be provided after intraoperative vomiting, such as reducing or stopping surgical exploration or operation, oxygen inhalation to relieve the stimulation of hypoxia on brain tissue, actively and effectively preventing the occurrence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting, and ensuring the smooth progress of the operation.

During the confinement period, every mother should take comprehensive physical and mental care. When any discomfort symptoms occur, in addition to seeking medical treatment in time, she also needs to relax and not be too nervous. Because if postpartum women often experience mental stress and other negative mental states, it will often affect their physical recovery, so they must pay special attention during the confinement period.
