Benefits of postpartum recovery

Pregnancy is not only a process that requires women to be cautious, but the postpartum recovery period after giving birth is also a period that women need to pay special attention to. Moreover, most women will be more conscious and actively recover their bodies after childbirth, because if they do not pay attention to postpartum body recovery, it will have a great impact on their future, and may even cause postpartum diseases in old age. Today, let’s take a look at the benefits of postpartum recovery with our female friends.

1. Postpartum internal organs and meridian regulation

Excessive demand and blood stasis after childbirth, as well as poor circulation of Qi and blood, can cause or aggravate an imbalance in fat metabolism. Excess fat will accumulate in the abdomen, legs, etc., affecting body curves. By dredging the meridians and regulating the lipid metabolism process, fat decomposition and energy metabolism can be promoted. Due to the enlargement of the uterus during pregnancy, the internal organs are displaced, leading to changes in internal organ function and endocrine disorders, which can lead to body deformation.

2. Postpartum physical weakness

Childbirth is a long-lasting process that involves continuous physical exertion, which may lead to puffiness, edema, fatigue, shortness of breath, pale complexion, stomach cold, abdominal pain, dizziness and other symptoms. In addition, the weak body after childbirth is susceptible to wind and cold, which may lead to body pain, joint pain and other symptoms after childbirth. Therefore, it is advisable to take supplements after childbirth, which have the effect of replenishing qi, nourishing blood and warming the uterus.

3. Postpartum lochia does not stop

It is also called "uterine involution takes 5-6 weeks. If bloody lochia lasts for a long time to 7-10 days, it is the most prominent symptom of postpartum lochia incompleteness. It is attributed to qi deficiency, blood stasis, and blood heat. If timely physical treatment is given, most of them can be significantly improved or cured. On the contrary, prolonged bleeding can cause anemia.

4. Postpartum constipation

Whether the postpartum bowel movement is smooth or not is related to the abundance of body fluids or the strength of kidney qi. Due to the weakened gastrointestinal function and slow intestinal peristalsis in the postpartum period, intestinal contents stay in the intestines for a long time, which causes water absorption to cause dry stools. Excessive abdominal expansion during pregnancy causes the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor tissues to relax, and the bowel movement force is weakened due to the weakness of the human body after childbirth. Therefore, constipation often occurs after childbirth. Improving constipation through appropriate techniques is conducive to early recovery of body shape.

5. Postpartum urinary incontinence

Postpartum urinary incontinence is caused by the weakness of the postpartum body, which allows the heat evil to invade the bladder, and it is clearly pointed out that kidney deficiency is the root cause.
