Let's learn about how to maintain the uterus after cesarean section.

How to maintain the uterus after cesarean section?

Key points for uterine maintenance 1. Keep yourself clean and avoid sexual promiscuity

Some women do not treat their sex life correctly, and some even indulge in it, especially having sexual relations with multiple men, or not paying attention to sexual hygiene, and the uterus is the first victim. Unclean sexual intercourse is most likely to cause endometritis and cervical erosion.

The incidence of uterine cancer in women with cervical erosion is more than 7 times higher than that in women without cervical erosion. Vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse or a small amount of irregular bleeding is often an early sign of cervical cancer.

How should women take care of their uterus? Women must be aware that excessive sexual activity or pregnancy before marriage or early pregnancy will cause harm to their physical and mental health, and are often the direct cause of intrauterine infection, cervical erosion and uterine cancer.

Unclean sexual life, including the stimulation of the smegma on the male glans to the cervix, is also one of the factors that lead to uterine damage. During pregnancy, it is best to avoid sexual intercourse in the first three months and two months before delivery, otherwise it will cause miscarriage or premature birth and cause great damage to the uterus.

Key points for uterine maintenance 2. Perinatal care and prevention of uterine prolapse

How should a woman maintain her uterus? Regular prenatal checkups after pregnancy are an important guarantee for the safety of mother and child. If prenatal examinations are neglected, fetal abnormalities cannot be discovered in time, which often leads to serious consequences such as dystocia or uterine rupture.

If the labor process is too long during difficult labor, multiple births, or post-term delivery, excessive force or improper handling may cause damage to the ligaments around the uterus and, in severe cases, uterine rupture. There are also cases where women do not pay attention to rest after giving birth, and often squat to work or do heavy work, which increases abdominal pressure. The uterus will shift downward along the vagina from its normal position. This is medically called uterine prolapse, or "uterine prolapse" for short.

The patient has a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen, vagina and perineum, and experiences back pain, local swelling, ulcers, increased leucorrhea, etc. In severe cases, the bandages may remain outside all day and must be supported by hand to be put back in, which is extremely painful.

The above is an introduction to how to maintain the uterus after a cesarean section. After understanding it, we know that you must pay attention to rest more after a cesarean section. In addition, you must not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. You should also pay attention to keeping your body warm. Try to wait three months after a cesarean section before having sex, which is more conducive to the recovery of the uterus.
