What are the symptoms of postpartum uterine detachment?

The uterus is a unique organ in the female body. To put it bluntly, the actual function of the uterus is to allow the fetus to grow in the uterus. Of course, the uterus still has a certain relationship with women's physical health, and there are actually quite a few uterine diseases. For women who have just given birth, sometimes they will encounter uterine shedding. So what are the specific symptoms of postpartum uterine shedding?

Postpartum uterine prolapse has symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, and constipation.

1. The most obvious symptom of postpartum uterine prolapse is increased vaginal discharge. Postpartum mothers will have lochia during the confinement period. The time it takes for the lochia to clear up varies from person to person. For mothers who gave birth naturally, it will be clear up within about 2 weeks, while for mothers who gave birth by cesarean section, it may take longer, and may even last until the end of the confinement period. After the lochia is clean, postpartum mothers can pay close attention to their leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea increases and sometimes appears yellow pus or bloody, you should be alert to whether it is caused by postpartum uterine prolapse.

2. Symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. Because the prolapsed uterus presses on the bladder, postpartum mothers will often feel the urge to urinate, go to the toilet more frequently, and even feel pain when urinating. Urine may leak out uncontrollably when you cough, sneeze, or laugh. The vulva may even develop inflammation symptoms such as redness, swelling and pain due to frequent stimulation from urine.

3. Symptoms such as constipation, abdominal distension, and difficulty defecation occur. There will be a feeling of heaviness and distension in the lower abdomen, vagina, and vulva, and symptoms of lower back pain may also occur easily. Symptoms may be worse when standing for long periods of time, walking, or doing physical labor.

There are many symptoms of uterine prolapse, which are as follows:

1. Lumps protrude from the vagina. Symptoms of postpartum uterine prolapse include the cervix and uterine body protruding from the vaginal opening and being able to retract when lying flat.

2. Constipation, abdominal distension, and difficulty in defecation. When the uterus prolapses to the second or third degree, the posterior wall of the vagina may also bulge, and the rectum will bulge accordingly, forming an S-shaped curve. Therefore, the symptoms of postpartum uterine prolapse include the inability to pass stool smoothly, causing constipation and difficulty in defecation. Sometimes, if the abdomen is bent too much, it is difficult for air to pass through and farts cannot be released, which causes abdominal bloating.

3. Symptoms of postpartum uterine prolapse include increased vaginal discharge, sometimes presenting as yellow pus or blood, overflowing urine, and frequent, urgent, and painful urination. Urine may involuntarily leak out of the urethra when you cough, sneeze, laugh or walk. Due to frequent stimulation from urine, the vulva may become inflamed and become red, swollen, painful and itchy. Symptoms of postpartum uterine prolapse also include difficulty urinating. Some patients have to lift their buttocks and squeeze hard to urinate.

4. Symptoms of postpartum uterine prolapse include a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, vagina, and vulva. The symptoms worsen when standing for a long time, walking or working, and can be alleviated or even disappear when lying down.
