If a woman suffers from an enlarged uterus, she will often feel a pulling pain in her stomach. This pain is a great pain for women. Therefore, for the sake of women's health, they should actively seek treatment after the enlarged uterus. Otherwise, the woman's pregnancy function will be affected to a certain extent, and it may also cause menstrual disorders. So where will the enlarged uterus of pregnant women hurt? What kind of pain is it when the uterus enlarges during pregnancy In the early stages of pregnancy, a woman's uterus will slowly grow larger. When the uterus grows, some uncomfortable symptoms will appear, including: pulling pain, occasional lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, etc. These are all normal phenomena. If a woman in the early stages of pregnancy experiences these uncomfortable symptoms, she does not need to worry too much. She should maintain a good attitude, always pay attention to her pregnancy, and go to the hospital for regular prenatal and delivery checkups so that she can know whether the enlargement of her uterus is normal. If the enlargement of the uterus is abnormal, you should be alert. It is likely caused by a cyst or tumor and requires timely symptomatic treatment. How to recover the uterus after childbirth The uterus can be said to be the organ in the mother's body that undergoes the greatest changes during pregnancy and childbirth. It can grow from the original 50 grams to 1000 grams at full term. Generally speaking, it takes about 6-8 weeks for the uterus to return to its original size after delivery. After the placenta is expelled, the uterus will contract immediately. You can feel a very hard and spherical uterine body in the abdomen with your hands. Its highest point is at the same level as the navel. In the future, the height of the fundus of the uterus will decrease by 1-2 cm every day. About 10-14 days after delivery, the uterus will become smaller and descend into the small pelvic cavity. At this time, the fundus of the uterus cannot be felt in the abdomen. About 10 days after delivery, except for the surface where the placenta is attached, the rest of the uterine cavity will be completely covered by the new endometrium. Just after delivery, the area of the uterine wall where the placenta is attached is about the size of the palm. By about 2 weeks after delivery, the diameter has shrunk to 3-4 cm, but it will take 6-8 weeks after delivery to heal completely. If there is residual placenta or fetal membrane tissue in the uterus, or the uterus does not contract well after delivery, the recovery of the uterus will be slowed down. In order to return to its original size after delivery, the uterus needs to contract more forcefully, so the mother will feel the pain of postpartum contractions within one week after delivery. This contraction will be more obvious when the mother is breastfeeding, but it will not be unbearable. More skin contact with the child and breastfeeding are the best stimulation to promote uterine recovery. It has to be said that the uterus is constantly changing during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers should get used to this phenomenon and not be too nervous or worried. Protection of the uterus is very necessary. Our uterus is important, but also fragile. In terms of diet, we should try to eat some warm food and not eat too much spicy food. |
