What are the effects of an enlarged uterus?

For female friends, the uterus is one of the most important reproductive organs. And because of the particularity of the female structure, certain structures will also cause differences, such as the uterus, which is different for everyone. They look different and have different shapes. Some people have large uteruses, some have small uteruses, and some have thin uterine walls. So let’s take a look at the effects of an enlarged uterus.

1. What to do if the uterus is too large after childbirth

Postpartum uterine recovery usually occurs 7-10 days later, and the internal os of the cervix will close. As time goes by, the uterus will be further squeezed to discharge the remaining lochia, and the volume of the uterus will slowly shrink. It will take about 4 weeks after delivery for the cervix to gradually return to its normal size. For mothers who have had a caesarean section, it will take longer for the uterus to recover. Generally speaking, it takes 42 days for the uterus to recover after delivery.

In fact, the uterus of most mothers still contracts normally; but if you can still feel a mass in the lower abdomen, it may be that the uterus is not contracting well. However, we also need to see how the lochia decreases. Sometimes the uterus does not shrink in size because of uterine fibroids. These all need to be checked in the hospital. If the uterus is really contracting poorly, the main danger is that it will cause postpartum hemorrhage, which is something that really needs attention.
