What causes postpartum uterine prolapse? Tips for recovery of postpartum uterine prolapse

Uterine prolapse is a common condition, and there are many reasons for it, especially for postpartum women who pay more attention to it, and should be treated immediately after the abnormality occurs, with special attention to prevention methods.

Causes of postpartum uterine prolapse

1. It is easy for the uterus to sag when using the abdominal band after childbirth: it is the practice of many women to use the abdominal band after childbirth to recover their body. The doctor said that in addition to the visible situation of cesarean section, the general use of abdominal belt during delivery will increase the probability of urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse in the future.

2. Postpartum squatting is easy to cause uterine prolapse: postpartum exercise. When going to the hospital for examination 42 days after delivery, the doctor told the puerpera who had not yet exercised that postpartum exercise should be carried out immediately after the examination 42 days. These sports include anus lifting, back muscle exercise, abdominal muscle exercise, etc. These sports are very helpful for the recovery of the body. Avoid squatting for a long time. After delivery, the recovery of the pelvic floor muscles of the puerpera takes about 3 months. Therefore, during these 3 months, it is best for the puerpera to choose a sitting position or a standing position when doing things, and try to avoid squatting for a long time to prevent uterine prolapse. Postpartum sex is strictly prohibited within 42 days after delivery, preferably after 2 months after delivery. Two months after delivery, the vagina is also very fragile and light. Use lubricant to prevent injury.

3. Acute and delayed labor are easy to cause uterine prolapse: anterior uterine prolapse is rarely found, but prevention should be strengthened to further reduce the occurrence of this disease. The cause of uterine prolapse after delivery is acute labor, from regular uterine contraction to less than 3 hours of fetal delivery. The pelvic floor tissue and vaginal muscle have not yet arrived. After gradual expansion, they were suddenly crushed and torn by the powerful fetal head, and were not repaired in time. The postpartum pelvic floor support tissue could not return to normal. The causes of postpartum uterine prolapse still exist in women with delayed labor. The fetal head compresses the vagina and pelvic floor tissue for a long time, damages tissue ischemia, loses the support of pelvic floor tissue, and causes uterine prolapse. In addition, the causes of postpartum uterine prolapse include postpartum constipation, postpartum cough, continuous squatting, early and heavy labor after getting out of bed after childbirth, which increases abdominal pressure and causes uterine prolapse.

4. Postpartum cough and constipation: increased abdominal pressure can also cause uterine prolapse.

5. Many new mothers love to lie on their backs when they are in confinement: this can easily lead to chronic urinary retention (poor urination, frequent urination, frequent urination, and sometimes incontinence). The uterus after childbirth is easy to form a posterior position. When abdominal pressure increases, the uterus will slowly slide down the vagina, causing prolapse.
