Postpartum uterine prolapse

There are many reasons for uterine prolapse, among which childbirth is the most common cause. Women should not worry too much about this situation. They should actively carry out rehabilitation training and use certain Chinese medicine for conditioning. They can also prevent and treat it by squatting, levator ani contraction exercises and other methods, which can achieve relatively good results. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Postpartum uterine prolapse

1. Massage the uterus

The recovery of the uterus depends on contraction. Under normal circumstances, the uterus can contract to its pre-pregnancy state. That is, after labor begins, the uterus will continue to contract, emptying again and again, leaving no gaps in the uterine cavity. Mothers can learn to massage their uterus, guiding it to contract continuously until there is no bleeding and the uterine cavity remains empty.

Poor uterine contraction may result in the risk of heavy bleeding. When there are still blood clots or residual placenta in the uterus, the uterus will first be filled with blood clots; then, the uterine smooth muscle will stop contracting. This is the so-called poor uterine contraction, and there will be a risk of heavy bleeding (hemorrhage).

2. Chinese and Western medicine uterine contraction agents and Shenghua Tang

In order to prevent heavy postpartum bleeding, doctors usually use uterine contractions, which are mainly used to prevent postpartum bleeding and work more quickly. However, it has been a folk tradition since ancient times to use Shenghua Tang to remove blood stasis and promote blood circulation, as a way to help the uterus recover after childbirth. In traditional Chinese medicine, the ingredients in Shenghua Tang itself have the effect of removing blood stasis and replenishing blood. After the blood stasis (blood clots) flows out, the uterus will naturally contract, so Shenghua Tang is more suitable for health care during the postpartum period.

3. Levator ani muscle contraction exercise

Lie flat on your back, bend your knees, bring your feet close to your buttocks, support your body with your feet and shoulder blades, and try to lift your buttocks off the bed while inhaling, and exhale when you lower your buttocks; contract your anus forcefully when you inhale, and relax when you exhale, just like the action at the end of a bowel movement. 2 to 3 times a day, about 10 minutes each time.

For mild uterine prolapse, if there are no symptoms of difficulty urinating or defecating, pay attention to rest, do more anal contraction exercises, and also perform levator ani muscle contraction exercises. Conservative treatment should also be effective.

4. Abdominal acupoint massage

When massaging, lie on your back, first gently rub your abdomen with your palms, and then push and rub from the lower abdomen upwards repeatedly. The force should be gentle so that you can feel the uterus being lifted up. Then use your middle finger to massage the Qihai, Zhongji, Guanyuan and other acupoints. The effect will be better if you combine it with external or internal Chinese medicine.

Finally, if it is severe uterine prolapse, you must be hospitalized for treatment. The doctor will arrange surgery according to the specific situation. Don't be afraid, be good.
