Many pregnant women neglect the care of physical health after giving birth to their babies, and it is easy to get some postpartum diseases. Postpartum illness, as the name suggests, is a birth-related disease that occurs during the puerperium. Postpartum diseases are very harmful to women's bodies, so we must pay attention to them and achieve timely treatment and prevention. Professor Song Yang will come to talk to you about three common postpartum diseases.
Postpartum lochia is inexhaustible
Postpartum lochia is inexhaustible, lochia refers to the residual blood and turbidity left in the womb after the mother gives birth, under normal circumstances, generally within 20 days after childbirth, lochia can be eliminated. However, if it is still dripping after this period of time, it is "inexhaustible". Postpartum lochia is not exhaustive, which can lead to local and systemic infection, and in severe cases, sepsis. Incomplete lochia is also easy to induce late postpartum hemorrhage, and even heavy bleeding shock, endangering the life of the mother.
Therefore, if postpartum lochia is inexhaustible, an obstetrician should be consulted.
Postpartum constipation
The postpartum diet of the mother is as usual, but the stool is not available for several days or the stool is dry and painful, and it is difficult to get out, which is called postpartum constipation, or postpartum stool difficulty, which is one of the most common postpartum diseases. Constipation can increase toxins in women's bodies, resulting in metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders and imbalance of trace elements, resulting in skin pigmentation, itching, dull complexion, and dry hair.
Maternal constipation is preventable. Through body movements, it promotes intestinal peristalsis and helps restore muscle tension. Diet should be reasonable, meat and vegetarian combination, appropriate to eat some fresh vegetables, melons and fruits, less pepper, pepper, mustard and other irritating foods.
Postpartum hemorrhoids
Postpartum hemorrhoids are a common near-anal disease of postpartum mothers, and postpartum hemorrhoids are mostly a legacy of hemorrhoids during pregnancy. When postpartum hemorrhoids gradually worsen, it is easy to have different degrees of bleeding symptoms.
If postpartum hemorrhoids are serious, they can be treated by drugs and surgery, and it is usually necessary to do a good job of preventing hemorrhoids, such as drinking water frequently, defecating on time, and keeping the anus clean, which are all effective ways to prevent postpartum hemorrhoids.
