When is the best time for postpartum pelvic recovery?

For every mother who has given birth to a child, although the arrival of the child is very sweet, there are also many unspeakable helplessness and sadness. It is very important to get back in shape and health. As we all know, after giving birth to a child, your body will be severely deformed and your body will be damaged. You must take care of it. So when is the best time for postpartum pelvic recovery? How to resume urination and defecation as soon as possible after delivery?

1, the best time for pelvic bone recovery

The golden period of pelvic floor muscle repair is 42 days to half a year after delivery.

If not repaired in time, it is easy to make the vagina in a dangerous semi-open state, increase the probability of reproductive tract infection and cause a variety of gynecological diseases. If the injury is serious, it may also cause pelvic organ prolapse, including cystocele, urethroplasty, vaginal prolapse, uterine prolapse and other dangerous consequences. Therefore, it is a wise choice for every mother to pay attention to pelvic floor function examination and carry out pelvic floor rehabilitation as soon as possible.

2. Restore postpartum urination as soon as possible.

Under normal urination, the mother will urinate 2-4 hours after delivery. In addition, due to diuresis, postpartum 12 ~ 24 hours urine output will be greatly increased. If you still don't urinate after 4 hours, you must ask medical staff for help, because urinary retention will increase the chance of urinary tract infection, and a full bladder may also displace the uterus, affect uterine contraction, and even cause uterine bleeding.

There are two main reasons for postpartum dysuria:

First, because the bladder and urethra were injured and edema during delivery, the parturient could not feel the bladder filling;

Another reason is perineal wound pain and decreased intra-abdominal pressure, which leads to postpartum dysuria or unclean feeling.

Nursing advice:

1, in order to stimulate urination and avoid using catheter, the pelvic muscles should be contracted and relaxed 5 times every 15 ~ 20 minutes. 2. Before getting up and urinating, be sure to eat something to restore your strength, so as not to faint in the toilet.

3. If you go to the toilet for a long time, you should move slowly when you stand up. Don't stand up suddenly.

4. If a catheter is used, the puerperium should be replaced frequently, about every 3 to 4 hours, and the perineum should be cleaned.

5, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, high fiber food.

3. Resume postpartum defecation as soon as possible.

Mothers who defecate should defecate within 2 ~ 3 days after delivery, but because lutein affects intestinal muscle relaxation or reduces intra-abdominal pressure, many people often delay their first defecation after delivery, especially when they are preparing for delivery and have no normal diet, which is more likely to cause poor defecation.

Nursing advice:

1. In order to avoid overexertion during defecation, you should drink more water and eat more fresh fruits, and if possible, eat whole wheat or brown rice.

2, often getting out of bed and walking can help gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.

3, avoid tolerance, or delay the defecation time, so as not to cause constipation.

4. Avoid irritating foods, such as coffee, tea, peppers and wine.

5. Avoid greasy food.

6. If you have constipation, you can use oral laxatives or laxatives under the guidance of a doctor.
