Because there is no one to educate them on the importance of postpartum restoration.
They are the first time that a mother is pregnant in October, and the second time that she gives birth to a baby. While enjoying the joy of motherhood, various physical problems also come up. For example, the pain in the lower back and abdomen, involuntary leakage of urine, and so on. These kinds of problems plagued the new mothers. In fact, when the above situation, the new mother is the emergence of the "pelvic floor dysfunction disease" related symptoms.
This disorder is related to the function of a "hammock" in our body. In medical terms, this "hammock" refers to the layers of muscle and fascia that close off the pelvic outlet. It is what we usually call the pelvic floor muscles! Imagine if this "hammock" has damage or abnormal function, it will inevitably have a greater or lesser impact on our body.
Factors contributing to damage to the hammock:
(1) Pregnancy
During pregnancy, the baby grows, and with the weight of the amniotic fluid and the uterus itself, the pressure on the hammock increases as the months go by. The pressure on the "hammock" will also increase. The more pressure, the more damage.
(2) In labor and delivery, the "hammock" is weakened by excessive stretching to enable the baby to be born, especially in difficult vaginal deliveries such as forceps. Just like a rubber band that has been stretched for a long time, its elasticity cannot be restored as before.
(C) other factors
such as chronic cough, long-term constipation, constant weight-bearing (carrying children, heavy objects, heavy labor, etc.), abdominal obesity (commonly known as the fat belly), all of these will make the maternal "hammock" weight, increasing the damage.
Of course, with age, this "hammock" used for a long time, if you do not pay attention to maintenance and exercise, there will be damage and functional problems
On the key points of postpartum rehabilitation:
How to detect "hammock "How do you detect problems with your "hammock" in time and protect or repair it correctly? This requires a bit of knowledge about postpartum rehabilitation.
(A) Early prevention
We usually try to avoid heavy physical activities.
Moms can avoid urinary incontinence and achieve sexual function recovery in time with the help of pelvic belt (pelvic belt is not a girdle, post-partum moms should be careful to use a girdle, do not rush to shape) within 6 weeks after delivery.
Daily diet should be balanced, eat more vegetables and fruits, keep the bowel movement smooth, eat less snacks, exercise more, and control your weight. Avoid standing or sitting for a long time.
(2) Early detection
You need to go to the hospital on the 42nd day after delivery for postnatal checkups (including routine leukorrhea, routine blood test, ultrasound and pelvic floor test). Among them, the pelvic floor test can be performed through hand examination of the pelvic floor muscle strength and professional pelvic floor function assessment equipment, to comprehensively assess the pelvic floor function situation, in order to carry out the corresponding treatment.
If there are postpartum problems such as lower back and abdominal pain, involuntary urinary leakage, etc., and there is no recovery for a long time you need to go to the hospital in time.
(3) Early treatment
If pelvic floor dysfunction is detected through auxiliary examinations such as pelvic floor test or clinical diagnosis, don't be afraid. The golden period for pelvic floor rehabilitation is within 6 months after delivery, and don't give up even if it's more than 6 months.
