What to do if your uterus prolapses after childbirth? What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?

We all know that the uterus is one of the important organs of female friends. The uterus plays a very important role in the female friend's body. Postpartum uterine prolapse is relatively common. Generally, we should pay attention to our daily diet and daily routine. If it is serious, please seek medical advice.

Uterine prolapse is caused by the relaxation or degeneration of the ligaments and muscles of the pelvic cavity, which cannot support the uterus and cause the uterus to sag into the vagina. Because women may damage the ligaments and muscles of the uterus during pregnancy or childbirth. Women who have been pregnant several times or have had difficult labor are more likely to suffer from uterine prolapse. If it is mild prolapse, the cervix is ​​still in the vagina. In severe cases, the cervix will extend to the vulva. In more serious cases, the entire uterus will extend outside the vagina. In mild cases, there may be a little discomfort. In severe cases, the vulva will feel pulled down, which is very uncomfortable and very difficult to urinate and defecate. Because when the uterus prolapses, the inner wall of the vagina will also sag. The front vaginal wall will involve the bladder, and the back vaginal wall will involve rectal prolapse. If the bladder muscles and ligaments are relaxed, the patient will have urinary incontinence.

For postpartum uterine prolapse, here are several treatment methods for your reference.

1. General rehabilitation therapy improves physical fitness, strengthens nutrition, takes proper rest, pays attention to the combination of work and rest, and keeps bowel movements smooth. Avoid compressing the lower abdomen to increase abdominal pressure and heavy physical labor.

2. Treatment of uterine prolapse: Place a pessary in the vagina in combination with general treatment. It is suitable for patients with mild uterine prolapse of degree I and II and moderate bulging of the vaginal wall. Commonly used types include trumpet-shaped, ring-shaped, ball-shaped, and ball-bellied-mushroom head pessaries.

3. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients who have failed non-surgical treatment or have severe uterine prolapse of grade II or III with vaginal anterior and posterior wall bulging. The choice of surgical method for uterine prolapse should be based on the patient's general condition, whether or not she has fertility requirements, etc. It is recommended to treat under the guidance of a clinician.

Uterine prolapse is also called uterine prolapse. The inner wall of the uterus cannot contract and recover well, and it sags into the vagina. In severe cases, it may extend outside the body. The general symptoms of uterine prolapse are at least a feeling of falling (the feeling that something is about to fall out of the lower abdomen). Usually, there will be backache, and in severe cases, it will also drag the bladder and rectum, and there will be frequent urination, incomplete urination, or constipation. Uterine prolapse is caused by qi deficiency and sinking, belt meridian failure, Chong and Ren deficiency, or multiple births, difficult labor, excessive force during delivery, and early participation in heavy physical labor after delivery, which damages the cell network and kidney qi, causing the uterus to lose its maintenance. According to its manifestations, it can be divided into three symptoms: qi deficiency and sinking, kidney deficiency and instability, and damp heat. Qi deficiency and sinking symptoms include shortness of breath, laziness, pale complexion, and empty lower abdomen; kidney deficiency and infirmity symptoms include dizziness, tinnitus, sore waist and weak legs; damp heat and sinking symptoms include friction damage caused by prolapsed objects, local redness, swelling and ulceration, yellow water dripping, swelling and pain in the vulva, and frequent red urine. Fuliangfang Gongchui Tie draws on the traditional Chinese medicine therapy of "raising and replenishing vital energy". According to the principle of "replenishing the weak, lifting the sunken, and consolidating the prolapsed", it mainly focuses on replenishing qi and lifting, tonifying the kidney and consolidating the prolapsed while promoting diuresis, drying dampness, lifting and astringing.

If a woman experiences uterine prolapse after childbirth, she should go to the hospital, consult a professional doctor, and receive treatment in a timely manner.

During the entire period from pregnancy to delivery, the uterus of mothers undergoes great changes. As the fetus grows, the uterus gradually expands. After giving birth, the uterus automatically starts a repair process. Many mothers want to return to their pre-pregnancy state. So how can they restore the uterus after delivery?

Breastfeeding can promote the contraction of the uterus and help restore the body shape. After three or four days, the pain of uterine contraction will not be so severe. The uterus is descending every day, and it will basically not be felt on the abdomen in about ten days. It takes about 14 to 16 weeks to repair the uterus itself, the endometrium, and the wound surface of the endometrium where the placenta falls off. The discharge of lochia is a process of uterine repair.

Postpartum massage helps the uterus recover. After giving birth, new mothers can often gently massage their lower abdomen in a clockwise direction. By stimulating the acupoints during the massage, the excitability of the uterine muscles is indirectly enhanced, promoting uterine contractions.

Appropriately use preparations containing medicinal herbs such as motherwort and angelica to soak your feet. By stimulating the acupuncture points and meridians on the feet, the blood vessels throughout the body will dilate, promoting blood circulation throughout the body, thereby restoring the normal function of the internal organs.

It takes some time for the uterus to recover, so expectant mothers should not rush it. Generally, the uterus will return to normal within 6 weeks after delivery.

The postpartum confinement period is the best time for women's uterus to recover. During this period, if you don't take good care of it, the uterus will not contract well and will not return to its original state. So, what should you do if the postpartum uterus does not recover well?

1. Drink Shenghua Tang

After giving birth, the elderly in the family will give the mother a bowl of Shenghua Tang to help the uterus recover. In fact, compared with contraction agents, the main effect of this soup is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, replenish blood and qi, and it is very suitable for drinking during the confinement period. Contraction agents are used to prevent excessive bleeding after giving birth, so drinking Shenghua Tang is still very helpful about 40 days after delivery.

2. Keep exercising after childbirth

Postpartum exercise can help the recovery of the uterus and pelvis. About seven days after giving birth, you can do some simple exercises such as lifting your legs, deep breathing, and lifting your hips.

3. Adhere to breastfeeding

Breastfeeding can also help with recovery because when the baby drinks milk, the nipples are stimulated, and the mother's body produces uterine contractions, which accelerates the recovery of the uterus.

4. Massage

The uterus recovers by constantly contracting, and we can also help it recover through massage and taking contraction drugs.

The above four methods can effectively help the uterus recover after childbirth. The recovery of the uterus takes some time. Therefore, new mothers must rest well and regulate their bodies during this period. After childbirth, they must go to the hospital regularly for a health check to check the recovery of the uterus.
