Does pelvic bone repair need to be done after childbirth? Since the baby will stretch the mother's pelvis when giving birth, it is difficult for the pelvis to recover on its own within a period of time after delivery. In other words, after giving birth, you need to go to some regular medical institutions for postpartum pelvic repair. So how long after childbirth can I have pelvic bone repair? What should we pay attention to? Let’s take a look together next.
Does pelvic bone repair need to be done after childbirth?
The pelvis will not recover on its own after childbirth, so pelvic recovery must be done in time after childbirth to restore the pelvis to its best condition.
Generally speaking, the body will return to normal one to two months after delivery. However, the state of the pelvis will not automatically return to its prenatal state and requires postpartum care and exercise. Pelvic tightening is ideal within 2 months. Because it takes 2 months for the ligament to return to its original hardness.
Whether it is a vaginal delivery or a caesarean section, women need pelvic repair after delivery. Because during pregnancy, the pelvic floor will also become loose under the action of the progesterone relaxin. As the fetus slowly grows and the fetal position moves downward, the pelvic floor will also be squeezed more and more.
After delivery, as the fetus is delivered, some ligaments loosen and the "spring bed" becomes less elastic and cannot fix the organs in their normal positions, resulting in functional disorders such as incontinence and organ prolapse. Wait. Therefore, women who have had vaginal births and caesarean sections need pelvic recovery after delivery.
If repair treatment is not performed in time, the vagina can easily be left in a dangerous semi-open state, increasing the chance of infection in the reproductive tract and causing various gynecological diseases. If the damage is severe, it may also cause pelvic organ prolapse, including cystocele, urethrocele, vaginal prolapse, uterine prolapse and other dangerous consequences. Therefore, paying attention to pelvic floor function examination and early pelvic floor rehabilitation is a wise choice for every mother.
The golden period for repairing pelvic floor muscles is from 42 days to half a year after delivery.
Precautions for pelvic bone repair
You should not sit or lie down for a long time during the puerperium period after childbirth. You should get down to the ground as early as possible and do appropriate exercises, which is more conducive to the recovery of the pelvis and will not easily lead to uterine prolapse. As for postpartum sweating, especially when exercising, mothers need to remember to prepare a few extra sets of postpartum clothes to change them in time to prevent them from getting sick. For the following three exercise methods, pay attention to increasing them gradually to adapt to the needs of the body.
Stand with your legs slightly apart, contract the buttock muscles on both sides to push them against each other, causing the thighs to move closer and the knees to turn outwards. Then contract the sphincter muscles to move the vagina upward. With patient exercise, you can learn to distinguish the relaxation and contraction of the vaginal and anal sphincter muscles, improve vaginal relaxation, and improve the vaginal pinching function.
Lie on your back against the edge of the bed, with your buttocks on the edge of the bed and your legs straight and hanging in the air without touching the ground. Hold the edge of the bed with both hands to prevent it from sliding down. Close your legs, slowly lift them upward, move your upper body closer, and straighten your knees. When your legs are raised above your body, hold your legs with both hands and bring them toward your abdomen, keeping your knees straight. Then, slowly lower it and return your legs to their original position. Repeat this six times, once a day, and you can do it all year round.
