Many mothers will do some repair projects after childbirth, such as ovarian maintenance, breast maintenance, etc., but the elderly in the family will definitely tell you that this is a waste of money, and the previous people did not do it and are still healthy and healthy.
In fact, most of the project doctors of postpartum repair are not recommended to do, because there is no use and expensive, but there is one thing that you must do, that is, pelvic floor muscle repair.
There is a new mother, when the postpartum review, the doctor recommended her to repair the pelvic floor muscles, and the mother thought that she was young and physically good, and the doctor did not take it seriously in order to charge more.
As a result, five months after giving birth, I began to leak urine and feces frequently, and then went to the hospital for examination, because the pelvic floor muscle recovery was not good, so it led to the occurrence of these symptoms.
What are pelvic floor muscles? Why do pelvic floor muscle repairs be done?
What the pelvic floor muscles are
The pelvic floor muscle is the muscle of the human pelvic floor, and the normal pelvic floor is like a hammock, covering the bladder, the anterior wall of the vagina, the uterus and the posterior wall of the vagina, and the rectum, and this hammock bears the weight of the entire pelvic floor.
Why pelvic floor muscle repair is needed after childbirth
Data show that about half of postpartum women have varying degrees of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and the incidence of urinary incontinence in the 5 years after childbirth is 19%.
Many elderly women have urinary leakage problems, thinking that it is a physical problem of age, in fact, most of the reasons are that the pelvic floor muscles after childbirth have not recovered well, but some people have found it after childbirth, and some people have not appeared until they are older.
After a woman becomes pregnant, the uterus gradually grows from a small fist to a large watermelon, during which both the abdomen and the internal organs bear some challenges, and some of these challenges lead to the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles upwards, and the other part is shared to the pelvic floor, and the pelvic floor muscles hold these weights.
After childbirth, these weights disappear, but the muscle compression that was caused has not recovered, which requires deliberate repair to restore the position and elasticity of these muscle groups.
Optimal time for pelvic floor muscle repair
In fact, the pelvic floor muscles have a natural recovery process after childbirth, whether it is treated or not, there will be improvement, but just like the indentations on the clothes, you hang it with a hanger, it is definitely not as good as using an iron to iron it.
Most pelvic floor muscles recover naturally, but it is difficult to return to the preconception state, so it is best to intervene for maximum repair.
It is generally recommended to be performed within 42 days to 6 months after delivery. After more than 6 months, the effect of the repair is not so good.
How to perform pelvic floor muscle repair
First of all, when reviewing the postpartum period, follow the doctor's advice and be sure to do a pelvic floor muscle examination to determine your own state.
Secondly, exercise at home on your own, you can do Kegel exercise.
Step 1: Empty your bladder.
Step 2: Find your pelvic floor muscles.
The easiest way is to try to hold urine suddenly when urinating, if the holding of urine is successful, then congratulations, your pelvic floor muscles have been found, but this method can not be used to exercise the pelvic floor muscles.
Third: contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.
Choose a comfortable position, or stand or sit, and contract the pelvic floor muscles for 10 s, 10 times a group, three sets a day.
Step 4: Relax the pelvic floor muscles.
Before each contraction, relax the pelvic floor muscles. Take a deep breath and relax fully, ready for the next contraction.
In addition, you can also use the following three methods to match training.
Turning: Lying flat on the bed, with your hands flat on your body twice, waist and abdomen do not move your left leg and bend your knees, twist to the right as much as possible, and vice versa, twist 30 times at a time;
Look up: Lie flat on the bed, hands on your side, legs together, ass clamped, not moving below the shoulders, look up like the tip of your own toes, look up 30 times;
Hip Bridge: Lie flat on the bed, hands on your side, legs together and knees, hips up, shoulders remain motionless for 30 seconds.
The focus of each movement is to tighten in the hips, not relax, 3-4 days a week, do 2-3 sets at a time.
Postpartum repair is very important, everyone must love themselves, do not wait until something goes wrong and then pay attention.
