After giving birth to a child, women have to go through a period of up to 42 days of confinement, during this period, there are many "taboos", many older generations say that if you do not comply with these taboos, then you may suffer in the future, and even there are many statements of confinement disease, so are these statements accurate? Let's take a look.
Case: Confinement bathes every day, and only bathes after the confinement, the contrast after half a year is a bit unbelievable
Xiao Zhang and good friends two people almost at the same time to sit in confinement, during the confinement period, Xiao Zhang's mother-in-law to serve her confinement, the mother-in-law has been stressing to her, must not take a bath, which is before giving birth, almost every day bathing Xiao Zhang, is really difficult to accept, originally did not intend to listen to the mother-in-law's advice.
But then, her mother-in-law told her that when she was young, she accidentally took a bath during confinement, which left her with the problem of cold palace, as well as waist pain and migraines. A living example is in front of him, Xiao Zhang listened to these experiences of his mother-in-law, and he also began to be afraid, so he planned to endure for a month, better than leaving a lifetime of sequelae like his mother-in-law.
Therefore, Xiao Zhang endured for 42 days, and the whole process honestly did not take a bath. But Xiao Zhang's good friend is not so, during the confinement period is more comfortable, Xiao Zhang will also tell her her mother-in-law's experience, but the friend does not think so, always feel that this is the old saying, let her not take a bath for 42 days, where can bear it.
So during the confinement period, Xiao Zhang's friends bathed almost every day, except for the week when they had just given birth, after the confinement, the whole person was refreshed, but Xiao Zhang said that the sequelae had not been shown so quickly, and she still wanted to pay more attention.
Compared with Xiao Zhang, after 42 days of not bathing, in the postpartum examination, he was told by the doctor that there was a serious infection problem, and the internal recovery of the reproductive system was extremely poor, especially the problem of cervical erosion and tubal blockage. However, Xiao Zhang's friend recovered very well, which made Xiao Zhang very surprised.
Wait until half a year later, Xiao Zhang is still recovering, and the state of friends is getting better and better, Xiao Zhang really can't understand this contrast, and then went to the hospital again when he asked the doctor, the doctor said that the infection problem during the confinement period will hinder the recovery progress, the original reproductive system has experienced relatively large damage, and then experienced an infection, the recovery is naturally slow. Xiao Zhang also felt very regretful at this time, and he had already paid more attention to the problem of hygiene and cleanliness, and now there would not be so many problems.
01 Can I take a bath during the confinement period?
In response to this problem, in fact, many women have said that they can't, especially the older generation of women, but also to the menstrual bathing may leave what sequelae may be left behind, but also to take their own examples to illustrate, which also makes many young women dare not take a bath during the confinement period.
In fact, during confinement, it is not impossible to bathe. In the past, women could not bathe during confinement because of poor conditions. In the past, hot water for bathing was a luxury, not to mention heating or other facilities.
But now, not only the room has heating, the bathroom also has heating or bath, as well as constant temperature hot water, in this case, bathing, after washing, as long as you quickly dry the body, to avoid cold, but for the recovery of the confinement is more beneficial.
On the contrary, if you have not bathed, even if you have a change of underwear every day, and there is a wipe of the pussy, but it can not be completely cleaned up, in the process of defecation or urination, there will still be a lot of residual bacteria, if not completely cleared, then in a short period of time will be a large number of reproduction, not to mention more than 40 consecutive days without cleaning, enough to see how many bacteria there are, how much harm to the female postpartum reproductive system.
As the above doctor said, the reproductive system of postpartum women is relatively fragile, immunity is relatively low, once they are invaded by bacteria, there will be infection, and the longer the time, the infection will become more and more serious, and it will endanger the recovery of other reproductive organs, including fallopian tubes, uterus, appendages, pelvic cavity and so on.
Similarly, whether you can wash your hair during the confinement period is the same reason, many older generations say that you can't wash your hair, but the fact is that if you don't wash your hair for a long time, there will be more serious seborrheic dermatitis, which will lead to hair loss. In the case of heating, hair dryer, hot water, it is still necessary to wash your hair regularly to avoid excessive oil production, otherwise it may also affect the health problems of newborns.
Conclusion: During confinement, there are many taboo problems such as these, some of which have a certain truth, but in the moment when living conditions change, we must learn to think flexibly and use conditions to help you recover, rather than making your situation worse and worse. The reason why many older generations have some confinement diseases is actually related to some confinement habits, but they are not realized.
