What causes bleeding in stool after childbirth?

After ten months of pregnancy, the pregnant woman is able to give birth to a baby, which is certainly a happy thing. However, the mother's body is very weak at this time, so it is more prone to problems, such as postpartum bleeding in the stool. I believe that many female friends have experienced this. In fact, it is also quite painful and embarrassing. So today let's talk about what is going on with postpartum bleeding in the stool?

The main reason pregnant women have dry stools after childbirth is that they have to stay in bed for a period of time after giving birth and have less activity, which slows down the intestinal motility. At the same time, the abdominal wall expands during pregnancy, and the abdominal wall relaxes and becomes weak after childbirth, and the abdominal pressure decreases, making it easy for intestinal contents to stagnate in the intestinal cavity and difficult to expel. Another reason is that the diet after childbirth is too refined, and they rarely eat vegetables, fruits and other fiber-rich foods, and drink less water, which causes constipation and dry stools. Long-term forceful defecation can cause the dry and hard feces to cut the skin of the anal canal, causing bleeding and pain, which results in bloody stools.

What should I do if I have bleeding stool after childbirth? You may wish to pay attention to the following aspects.

1. The anus should be kept clean after delivery, and gently wipe it with water after each bowel movement.

2. Avoid sitting for long periods of time. When you have free time, you can do eye-lifting exercises frequently to strengthen the contraction of the anal sphincter and promote local blood circulation.

3. Eat less spicy food to prevent aggravation of anal edema and other symptoms.

4. Preventing constipation in advance is what we need to do before solving the problem of postpartum bloody stools. Because mothers consume a lot of heat, weight and nutrients during pregnancy and delivery, proper nutritional supplementation after delivery is necessary, but it must be properly regulated.

5. Perform abdominal massage to increase the chance of intestinal peristalsis.

6. Develop a habit of daily bowel movements and shorten the intervals to avoid constipation caused by excessive accumulation and excessive water absorption.

The above introduces in detail what causes postpartum bleeding in the stool and what aspects should be paid attention to when postpartum bleeding in the stool occurs. These practical suggestions are believed to be very useful for friends who have just become parents. Because these methods do not involve drugs, they are more useful for female friends who are breastfeeding, thus avoiding the stimulation of drugs on the baby.
