Caesarean section massage uterus technique

For pregnant women, pregnancy is a very happy thing, but many people know that they will encounter many problems during childbirth, such as dystocia. When this happens, many people will solve such problems through caesarean section. Even people who have some knowledge of cesarean sections will know that when performing a cesarean section, they will perform some uterine massage techniques on women, mainly to help them relax and dilate the uterus, which will then facilitate delivery. So what are the specific techniques for uterine massage during cesarean section?

Cesarean section is a relatively troublesome operation. Generally, a relaxing massage is given after a slight recovery. This helps reduce the tension in the mother's bones and muscles, facilitates excretion, and allows her to get out of bed earlier. In fact, the uterus is an organ composed of thick muscles. It usually does not recover immediately after a caesarean section, and it takes at least two weeks to return to the pelvic cavity. Therefore, after the new mother's physical strength has recovered, she should perform uterine massage on the next day. That is, put your hands around the belly button and do clockwise circular massage, which can help promote uterine contraction.

The mother can place her hands around her belly button and slowly search for the location of the uterus. If she cannot feel any lump in the abdomen, she needs to do a circular uterine massage to speed up the contraction of the uterus. Moreover, as the uterus contracts, the secretions retained in the body will also be discharged. If the uterus becomes hard, it means that the contraction is good. Therefore, after recovering from a cesarean section, mothers should be massaged at any time, and the massage must be performed until the uterus becomes hard.

The patient places one hand on the fundus of the uterus and massages the fundus evenly and forcefully. Generally, the uterus will begin to contract after the massage. Use the other hand to press the back of the uterus from the abdominal wall to make the uterus bend forward. In this way, both hands can press the uterus tightly to massage it. You can gently press the middle of the lower abdomen to push the uterus upward. Massaging the uterus mainly involves holding the uterus with your hands, raising it above the pelvic cavity, and maintaining gentle massage, which can restore the uterus to its normal contraction state.

Generally speaking, massaging the uterus will have a good effect on the treatment and care of postpartum hemorrhage. It is best for patients not to massage themselves, but to have medical staff do it, which is safer and more effective. At the same time, you should also pay attention to rest, avoid being too tired, and keep your abdomen warm. You can do some postpartum activities in moderation, such as deep abdominal breathing. You can also lie on a hard bed and lift your legs and hips one week after delivery, which can effectively contract and recover the uterus and lower abdomen. As long as the patient persists and pays attention to care, he or she will recover soon and regain his or her smile.
