What are the symptoms of postpartum urinary incontinence? What is the best treatment for postpartum urinary incontinence?

Postpartum urinary incontinence is a very embarrassing phenomenon. It is usually closely related to postpartum recovery. If the postpartum recovery is not good, the urinary incontinence will last for a long time. So here we will learn about the symptoms of postpartum urinary incontinence and the best treatment for postpartum urinary incontinence.

Postpartum urinary incontinence usually refers to the bulging of the anterior vaginal wall caused by the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles after childbirth, which will cause the bladder to hold urine in disorder. Coughing, skipping rope or even running may cause increased abdominal pressure, leading to unconscious urine overflow, which is a common manifestation of postpartum pelvic floor muscle relaxation. After giving birth to a baby, some women experience urinary incontinence symptoms, such as urgency and frequency of urination, and often feel that they cannot urinate completely. Sometimes, stress urinary incontinence may occur, such as when coughing or standing up suddenly. These situations are obvious symptoms of postpartum urinary incontinence. The main reason for this is that women over-compress the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy and late vaginal delivery, or use of suction devices and breech traction and other auxiliary delivery devices during delivery, which cause pelvic floor muscle damage. If they fail to recover well after delivery, the pelvic floor tissue will often relax, so postpartum urinary incontinence is prone to occur. Active rehabilitation training measures need to be taken for postpartum urinary incontinence, such as postpartum yoga fitness, postpartum rehabilitation training, a series of treatment and rehabilitation methods, and appropriate squatting exercises and pelvic floor exercises to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. This can promote the recovery of postpartum body functions as soon as possible and reduce postpartum urinary incontinence.

Postpartum urinary incontinence is a very common disease. As the uterus gradually enlarges during the 10 months of pregnancy, the ligaments are stretched and relaxed, and the pelvic ligaments are further relaxed due to the gravity of the fetus. During childbirth, the process of holding breath and forcing the fetus to deliver the fetus causes acute and chronic damage to the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. Some also have vaginal wall ruptures and episiotomy, which can cause pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary incontinence. Therefore, 42 days after delivery, after the lochia is clean, you can start pelvic floor assessment. If you find organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, you need to do pelvic floor function rehabilitation and treatment. This can alleviate the symptoms of urinary incontinence to the greatest extent. You can also use anal lifting exercises to restore the tension of the pelvic floor muscles and promote vaginal contraction; you can also go to a regular postpartum repair center and use instruments to promote the repair of the pelvic bones and pelvic floor muscles under the operation of professionals. Urinary incontinence after childbirth may be caused by pelvic floor muscle relaxation.

If urinary incontinence occurs after childbirth, it will have a great impact on the mother, because after urinary incontinence, because of constant going to the toilet, or with urine on the body, there will be odor. Unable to socialize with others, social disorders will occur. The second is that after frequent urinary tract infections, itching and eczema will occur in the perineum. Third, it will affect the patient's mental state, because social disorders will cause nervous anxiety and depression in patients. Urinary tract infections often occur, and there may be stones that may be combined. Hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency may occur. Some people may also develop uremia, which is life-threatening. Urinary incontinence in mothers is usually caused by long-term pressure on the pelvic floor. Vaginal relaxation and pelvic organ prolapse can also cause this condition. Early intervention can be carried out through pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy. It is currently recommended to perform pelvic floor screening 42 days after delivery. If the pelvic floor muscles are found to be weak or urinary incontinence occurs, weak electrical stimulation can be used to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. For those with severe symptoms, minimally invasive sling surgery can be performed.

Postpartum urinary incontinence is usually caused by bladder tissue damage or urethral damage during delivery. If the symptoms are not serious, it usually takes about a week to recover. During the recovery period, you need to take levofloxacin capsules and blood circulation and blood stasis drugs. If the symptoms are severe, surgical repair treatment is usually required to fully recover. Postpartum urinary incontinence can easily cause urethritis or vaginitis, so it is recommended to clean the vulva frequently. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, otherwise it will easily aggravate the symptoms of urinary incontinence and is not conducive to recovery from the disease.
