How to prevent uterine prolapse after childbirth? Four ways to learn early

Uterine prolapse is very harmful to women, especially after giving birth. Such symptoms are prone to occur. Therefore, women must prevent uterine prolapse after giving birth. They should exercise moderately after giving birth and avoid squatting frequently. They must not have sexual intercourse within 42 days after giving birth. In addition, they should do more activities to massage the uterus. Certain Chinese medicines can be used to strengthen the regulation.

1. Postpartum exercise

Postpartum exercise should be done immediately 42 days after delivery. These exercises include exercises for the levator ani muscles, back muscles, and abdominal muscles, etc. These exercises are very helpful for the body's recovery.

2. Avoid squatting for long periods of time

After giving birth, it takes about 3 months for the mother's pelvic floor muscles to recover. Therefore, during these 3 months, it is best for the mother to choose to sit or stand when doing things, and should try to avoid squatting for a long time to prevent uterine prolapse.

3. Postpartum sex

Sexual intercourse should be strictly prohibited within 42 days after delivery, and it is best to have it 2 months after delivery. Even two months after giving birth, the vagina is still very fragile, so be gentle or use some lubricant to prevent injury.

4. Treatment of uterine prolapse

1. Massage the uterus

The recovery of the uterus depends on contraction. Under normal circumstances, the uterus can contract to its pre-pregnancy state. That is, after labor begins, the uterus will continue to contract, emptying again and again, leaving no gaps in the uterine cavity. Mothers can learn to massage their uterus, guiding it to contract continuously until there is no bleeding and the uterine cavity remains empty.

Poor uterine contraction may result in the risk of heavy bleeding. When there are still blood clots or placenta residues in the uterus, the uterus will first be filled with blood clots; then, the uterine smooth muscle will stop contracting. This is the so-called poor uterine contraction, and there will be a risk of heavy bleeding (hemorrhage).

2. Chinese and Western medicine uterine contraction agents and Shenghua Tang

In order to prevent heavy postpartum bleeding, doctors usually use uterine contractions, which are mainly used to prevent postpartum bleeding and work more quickly. However, it has been a folk tradition since ancient times to use Shenghua Tang to remove blood stasis and promote blood circulation, as a way to help the uterus recover after childbirth. In traditional Chinese medicine, the ingredients in Shenghua Tang itself have the effect of removing blood stasis and replenishing blood. After the blood stasis (blood clots) flows out, the uterus will naturally contract, so Shenghua Tang is more suitable for health care during the postpartum period.
