It is not easy to give birth to a child, not only should we pay attention to it before pregnancy, but also be more careful after pregnancy, and even after giving birth, we must sit well so that we will not cause physical harm.
After giving birth, women excrete lochia from the vagina. Lochia is the excrement of blood that is removed from the membrane with the removal of the uterus and the placental attachment after the mother gives birth, and the necrotic defilmed tissue is excreted along the vagina.
Under normal circumstances, 4 to 6 weeks after childbirth, lochia will be completely excreted from the body, if the duration is prolonged, or there is a smell, it is that the lochia is not exhausted, and it will leave confinement disease.
Normally, lochia is divided into three types according to color.
In the 3 to 4 days after childbirth, most of them are bright red, and there will be small blood clots, etc.; after that, the color slowly fades and becomes reddish, the scientific name is "serous lochia", which lasts about 10 days;
When the serous fluid gradually decreases and the number of white blood cells increases, the lochia begins to appear white, and then varies according to the amount of lochia per person per day until the final discharge.
Women will be exposed to lochia in up to 4 weeks, or a month, and only a few women will last for 2 months. If this time is exceeded, it is best to go to the hospital for examination.
If you are unlucky enough to be recruited, or if you want to prevent this possibility in advance, you can use the following 3 methods, which are very useful.
First, ensure the hygiene of private parts
In fact, whether male or female, at any time, we must ensure the hygiene of private parts, and in special cases, we should pay special attention to private parts hygiene.
Postpartum women will excrete lochia, resulting in private parts often in a humid environment, which is easy to breed bacteria. We need to rinse the private parts frequently and then dry them to ensure that the private parts are clean and dry.
Then don't be lazy, change your underwear often, wash your underwear, and change your sanitary napkins frequently.
2. Insist on breastfeeding after childbirth
When the baby sucks on the mother's nipple, it can stimulate the mother's uterine contraction and help the lochia to drain faster. Therefore, as long as it is not a special situation, it is still recommended that all major women insist on breastfeeding.
In addition, the nutrition of breast milk is the highest, even the best milk powder is incomparable. In ancient times, powerful families would even use their right to dedicate their mothers to breast milk.
Moreover, babies have weak resistance, and eating breast milk can also allow them to obtain immunity from their mother's body, reducing the chance of getting sick.
Third, maintain appropriate exercise
Postpartum exercise can help women recover as soon as possible, but it must be a moderate amount of exercise, neither exercise for too long, and the amplitude of exercise should not be too large.
It can be a simple walk, etc., to promote blood circulation in the body and help lochia to be discharged as soon as possible.
Don't think that the woman who has given birth to a child is weak, so she spreads her hands on the bed all day to reach out and open her mouth, for the sake of good health, the mothers should not be lazy anymore.
In addition to walking, women can also do some maternal-specific exercises to help the body recover, such as consciously contracting the vagina while lying on their backs in bed, which is aimed at women with vaginal births.
