I guess mothers are not unfamiliar with uterine prolapse. The incidence of uterine prolapse has been quite high in recent years. Many mothers know that the uterus is the "temporary house" for the growth and development of the fetus.

The rumors on the Internet are just rumors. Don't worry, mothers don't need to worry that holding a baby during the confinement period will cause uterine prolapse. However, mothers must pay attention to rest during the confinement period, because their bodies are still very weak at this time and they may get sick if they are not careful. At this point, I wonder if holding a baby during the confinement period will cause uterine prolapse? I think we have a certain grasp of this issue.

Causes of uterine prolapse

1. Uterine prolapse caused by childbirth: The key reasons are the damage to the cervix, cervical main tendon and uterine sacral tendon caused by childbirth, and the inability of the supporting tissues to recover after childbirth. Pregnant women in the postpartum period like to lie flat on their backs, and are prone to chronic urinary retention. The uterus is prone to become posterior, with the axis of the uterus aligned with the axis of the vagina. When the abdominal pressure increases, the uterus will lower along the vagina and cause prolapse. Habitual squatting after giving birth can increase abdominal pressure and promote uterine prolapse.

2. Uterine prolapse caused by aging: Aging and organ decline, coupled with a decrease in the female hormone estrogen, cause the pelvic floor muscles to lose their supporting strength, and the uterine ligaments to gradually decline and shrink.

3. Uterine prolapse caused by surgical treatment: Various pelvic surgical treatments are very likely to cause complications such as uterine prolapse.

4. Congenital uterine prolapse: Congenital weakness of the pelvic muscles and incomplete development of the male reproductive tissues can also lead to uterine prolapse.

The above is the answer to the question “Will holding a baby during confinement cause uterine prolapse?” I hope it can be of some help to female friends. In addition, gynecologists kindly remind: Bao mothers should maintain smooth bowel movements during the confinement period and avoid excessive exercise; if they find back pain or abdominal pain, they should go to bed and rest immediately; after giving birth, they should exercise appropriately to enhance their immunity, which will help reduce the incidence of uterine prolapse.
