Abdominal pain 13 days after delivery

Women will experience many adverse effects on their bodies after giving birth, such as physical fatigue, lower abdominal pain, back pain, insomnia, depression, etc. Some women will experience lower abdominal pain 13 days after delivery. This may be caused by residual matter in the uterus or damage to the uterus, which requires people to pay attention. The following is a detailed introduction to what causes lower abdominal pain 13 days after delivery.

It is normal to have bleeding and abdominal pain 13 days after delivery. It is okay as long as the bleeding is less than the usual menstrual volume. If the bleeding is heavy, you need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound. It may also be caused by residues in the uterus or poor uterine recovery. It is best to conduct an ultrasound test in time to see the recovery of the uterus, and it can be treated with medication.

1. Dietary considerations

1. Do not eat whole eggs for several hours after delivery

Although my country has always had the habit of eating eggs to increase milk production, medical research shows that it is best for mothers not to eat the whole egg within a few hours after giving birth. Because during the delivery process, the mother consumes a lot of physical energy, sweats a lot, and lacks body fluids, her digestive ability will also decrease. If you eat eggs immediately after giving birth, they will be difficult to digest and will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, semi-liquid or liquid food should be eaten within a few hours after delivery.

2. Drink vegetable soup after childbirth

Many mothers drink whole soup to stimulate lactation immediately after giving birth, which leads to blockage of the mammary ducts, aggravated breast pain, and is not conducive to milk production. Postpartum tonic should be based on physical condition. Most mothers are not lacking in nutrition. It is best to drink some light vegetable soup first, and then drink full soup after 5 days. In addition, almost all mothers suffer from constipation in the first few days after delivery. This is due to the relaxation of the intestinal and abdominal muscles. Therefore, mothers who give birth naturally can improve their condition by drinking more fluids and eating more vegetables and fruits starting from the day of delivery.

3. You can drink light fish porridge within three days after delivery

It is best for mothers to eat liquid or semi-liquid food within three days after giving birth. Ancient doctors recommended eating fish porridge, and for the sake of laxative effect, you can add a plate of refreshing and delicious stir-fried vegetables; in addition, millet porridge, rice porridge, egg soup, and noodles are also good choices. After two or three days, when your appetite gradually improves, you can start taking other nourishing foods. But don't eat too greasy food when your appetite is poor. Depending on your personal physical condition, you can drink hot milk in the morning and evening, eat 1-2 eggs a day, and then slowly add chicken, fish, shrimp, meat, etc. Vegetables and meat should be evenly distributed, and balanced supplementation of nutrients and fiber such as iron, calcium, protein, etc., in addition to restoring physical strength, it also helps the secretion of milk. Attention! Avoid bloating foods such as milk, soy milk, large amounts of sucrose, etc. within one week after delivery.
