What are the symptoms of poor uterine contraction?

Poor uterine contraction is a common problem among postpartum women, which will have a great impact on women's physical recovery, so we should pay attention to actively understand it. Usually, poor uterine contraction will manifest as increased vaginal discharge and heavy bleeding. Some women will also experience problems such as lower abdominal distension and back pain, so we should actively understand these symptoms and focus on treatment.

1. Symptoms of poor uterine contraction after childbirth - increased leucorrhea and heavy bleeding

The prolapsed cervix and vaginal wall become congested, edematous, epithelial keratinization, hyperplasia, and increased secretions due to local blood circulation disorders, accompanied by increased leucorrhea and even heavy bleeding. Even if the lochia stops, the leucorrhea will definitely increase and the uterus will tilt retroverted. If not treated promptly, it may also lead to permanent uterine changes, such as connective tissue hyperplasia, uterine enlargement, heavy menstrual flow after lactation, and prolonged menstrual period.

2. Symptoms of poor uterine contraction after childbirth - feeling of falling and back pain

It is caused by uterine prolapse pulling on the surrounding supporting tissues and subsequent pelvic congestion. At the same time, there is a feeling of heaviness and distension 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. However, the reason why the uterus may not contract well after delivery is because the mother's uterine muscle fibers contract and shrink, which causes the uterus to shrink in size. The placental detachment surface in the uterine cavity shrinks accordingly as the uterus gradually shrinks, and the regeneration of the endometrium repairs the detachment surface. Once the involution function is hindered, the uterus will not recover well.

Postpartum recovery requires mothers to observe and judge carefully, so the knowledge of postpartum care and recovery must be thoroughly understood!
