What is the reason for the feeling of vaginal falling after childbirth?

Many women easily feel a feeling of vaginal falling after giving birth. This is because the pelvic floor muscles are damaged after delivery. Therefore, attention should be paid to postpartum recovery training and postpartum pelvic floor muscle function examination.

Postpartum lower abdominal distension: pelvic floor muscles damaged!

"After giving birth, I always feel like something is falling out of my lower body and there is a feeling of heaviness in my lower abdomen", "I can't hold back my urine when I cough or laugh out loud", or "I feel back pain and my sex life is not as good as before", etc. What is going on?

In fact, if such symptoms occur, it is very likely that there is a problem with the "pelvic floor muscles". The female pelvic floor is mainly composed of muscle groups and fascia, like a "hanging net", tightly hanging a woman's urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus and other key parts to maintain normal urination. Once the elasticity of this "net" deteriorates and the "hanging force" is insufficient, the organs in the "net" cannot be fixed in their normal position, and naturally there will be the so-called "feeling of falling, something falling out" and "unable to hold urine". This is what we call pelvic organ prolapse, prolapse, urinary incontinence, etc., all called pelvic floor dysfunction diseases. Since the pelvic floor muscles are the main tissues that maintain the elasticity and tightness of the female birth canal, they are also related to the quality of sexual life of postpartum couples.

Do a pelvic floor function test 42 days after delivery

One year after childbirth is the "golden time" for the recovery of pelvic floor muscle function. Pelvic floor muscle exercise can strengthen the pelvic floor muscle strength and improve the "relaxed" condition of the pelvic floor muscle through conscious and rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. It is recommended that mothers go to the hospital for pelvic floor function screening 42 days after delivery, after the lochia has cleared, so as to detect problems early.

Postpartum testing, assessment of the degree of pelvic floor tissue damage, and timely rehabilitation training are the preferred methods for preventing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction. Routine pelvic floor function examination is usually performed after vaginal bleeding stops 42 days after delivery. The test takes about ten minutes and will not cause pain to the person being tested.

Do "anal contraction exercise" to prevent postpartum urinary incontinence

In fact, the risk of pelvic floor diseases before and after childbirth is directly related to many factors during pregnancy. The greater the weight of the uterus during pregnancy, the longer the vaginal delivery, the faster the weight gain, the less activity during pregnancy, the more likely it is to cause vaginitis and

The more severe the urethritis, the more likely the pregnant woman will develop pelvic floor diseases. If pregnant mothers can control their diet scientifically and insist on exercising during pregnancy, they can reduce the chance of pelvic floor diseases.

Pre-pregnancy care and exercise during pregnancy are the most effective ways to prevent pelvic floor damage.

For pregnant women, it is best to start doing anal contraction exercises from the 28th week of pregnancy until six months after delivery.

The method is actually very simple, it is "anal contraction exercise", which mainly improves pelvic blood circulation, strengthens pelvic floor muscles, and improves the function of urethra and anal sphincter by actively contracting the muscles around the anus, vagina, and urethra.
