The postpartum period is generally

When women undergo major surgical treatments such as childbirth, they may have some concerns and need to master some basic knowledge about the procedure. The more you know about pregnancy, the more you will know how to prepare and recuperate before and after the operation, and you can return to normal as soon as possible. When you master the basic knowledge, you will come across a new term, that is, "confinement period". So how many weeks does the confinement period for women usually last?

The confinement period actually refers to the period when a woman has just undergone childbirth surgery, the body has not yet fully recovered to normal, and the reproductive organs are still recovering. Generally speaking, the confinement period is about 42 days, or about 6 weeks, and no more than 8 weeks.

During the confinement period, women should rest more, as this period is quite special. I just went through such a major surgery, and both my physical and mental state needed some adjustments. Therefore, during the confinement period, women should stay in bed to rest, and should also touch more happy things in their daily lives, so that their mind and body can be adjusted and their reproductive organs can return to normal. Only then can the confinement period be considered over.

Although the confinement period is not long, only 6 to 8 weeks, this period of time is very important. Women must take good care of themselves during the confinement period. If they do not take good care of themselves, it will cause secondary damage to their bodies.

The confinement period is the confinement period after childbirth. These 30 days are called the confinement period. Because after childbirth, the uterus and vagina need to recover within 30 to 40 days, so during this period you must pay attention to bed rest, and get out of bed and move around properly after meals every day, which will help discharge the remaining lochia in the uterus. During this period, you must also pay attention to cleanliness and diet.

If the private parts are not kept clean in time during the confinement period, it is easy to cause confinement infection, resulting in fever, abdominal pain and other discomforts. If you have postpartum lochia with an unpleasant odor or abdominal pain, you should see a doctor immediately to see if you have a postpartum infection.
