What to do if your uterus prolapses during the month

Every mother will go into labor after becoming pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, labor is one of the greatest pains in life, because after labor, the woman's body is very weak, especially because the trauma to the uterus during pregnancy is very severe. After giving birth, the uterus is in a highly loose state, so let’s learn what to do if the uterus prolapses during the confinement period.

Under normal circumstances, the uterus is fixed to the pelvic cavity by ligaments. The ligaments expand during childbirth. Some mothers may experience ligament damage after childbirth, which can cause local tissue weakness and slight uterine prolapse. If mothers do not take good care of themselves after giving birth and do not pay attention to postpartum health care, the long-term consequences may cause uterine prolapse. So, let’s understand what causes postpartum uterine prolapse.

1. If pregnant mothers have premature labor or delayed labor, the possibility of uterine prolapse after delivery will be higher than that of mothers who give birth normally. Precipitous labor refers to less than 3 hours from regular uterine contractions to fetal delivery. For mothers who give birth prematurely, the pelvic tissue and guiding muscles are compressed and torn by the sudden upward movement before they have time to fully expand. If they are not repaired in time after delivery, the pelvic supporting tissue cannot return to normal after delivery, which may lead to uterine prolapse. The reason why delayed labor can easily cause uterine prolapse is that the fetal head presses on the vagina and pelvic tissue for too long, causing damage to the pelvic tissue and possibly causing uterine prolapse.

2. Not paying attention to lying down and resting after delivery, participating in physical labor too early, doing too much physical labor, and squatting too much may also cause uterine prolapse. Within one month to 42 days after delivery, mothers should pay attention to rest. It is best to sit or stand when doing things and avoid squatting for a long time. After the confinement period, you can do some postpartum exercises, such as anal lifting exercises, exercises to train the back muscles and abdominal muscles, etc. Appropriate exercise is very beneficial for postpartum body recovery.

3. Using a restraint belt after childbirth can easily cause uterine prolapse. Many parenting websites now promote the idea that using a restraint belt after childbirth can help mothers regain their figure. In fact, except for caesarean section to compress the wound and prevent bleeding, it can be used moderately under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, if a woman uses a restraint belt during the confinement period, it can help her restore her figure, but it may increase the risk of urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse in the future.
