What causes edema after childbirth?

In daily life, many women will lose a lot of nutrition after giving birth, causing physical weakness and edema. This is a very common and worrying problem. What causes it? Why does edema occur after giving birth? I think many people must want to know this question, let’s take a look at it below.

1. For mothers after giving birth, it is very necessary to replenish a large amount of water because they need to provide their children with sufficient breast milk. Of course, because the water in breast milk comes from the mother's body, the water in the body will drop rapidly during breastfeeding, resulting in dehydration. In order to solve this problem and prevent the body from losing more water, mothers should store as much water as possible in the body during this period. It is for this reason that swelling occurs in the body for a short period of time after childbirth.

2. Edema will disappear 3-5 days after giving birth, so don't worry. Stretch marks should be treated as early as possible. If the stretch marks are very serious now, you should treat them early. The longer the time, the longer the treatment will take.

The above is the basic knowledge about the problem of edema after giving birth. I believe you will have a certain understanding after reading it. If this situation occurs in the short term, there is no need to worry. However, if the edema lasts too long after giving birth, you should go to the hospital in time to consult a doctor for treatment.
