How to do a lot of sweating after delivery?
What is postpartum sweating?
Postpartum, it is very common for pregnant women to increase their sweating. If excessive sweating causes clothes and bedding to get wet while sleeping, then this is postpartum sweating. The recovery time of postpartum sweating is related to the constitution of every mother. The recovery time of good constitution is relatively fast, and it can return to normal in one to two weeks, and the recovery time of weak constitution will be extended accordingly.
Causes of postpartum sweating
One to three days after delivery, the new mother does sweat a lot. If it is summer, they may get wet with a little exercise. This is because there are many physiological changes in the body after delivery, and there are many sweats in the body.
1. Increased skin blood volume during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, a lot of fluid between tissues will penetrate into blood vessels, so the blood volume will increase by 1-20%. Moreover, during pregnancy, more estrogen, vigorous adrenal function, accelerated basal metabolism of expectant mothers and vasodilation all lead to an increase in skin blood volume. In addition, after the baby is born, the blood circulation of the placenta will stop and the uterus will begin to contract, resulting in a large amount of blood returning to the human circulation.
2. Drain excess water after delivery
After delivery, the expectant mother's body metabolism and endocrine level will gradually decrease to normal level. In order to reduce the light mental burden and promote postpartum recovery, the body will discharge the water trapped in the body, and the main methods are urination and sweating. After the water is discharged, the weight will also drop rapidly, and the figure will recover a lot to some extent. Therefore, mothers don't have to worry too much. This is a normal phenomenon after childbirth.
What are the symptoms of postpartum sweating?
1. In the early postpartum period, new mothers sweat significantly, often sweating just after waking up or doing a little exercise, and their clothes may get wet, but this postpartum sweating is not morbid, but a normal physiological state.
2. If you sweat heavily for a long time after delivery, it is pathological postpartum sweating. One is involuntary sweating after falling asleep, that is, postpartum night sweats. The other is spontaneous sweating during the day after delivery. In this case, even if the weather is not hot and the clothes are not worn much, the new mother may be sweating.
Types of postpartum sweating
1. Postpartum sweating
It is easy for a mother to lie in bed or do some exercise after delivery. This is a self-regulation phenomenon of the new mother's postpartum body, which discharges excess water and impurities through sweating. In addition, the diet is overheated (hot soup, hot porridge, etc. ) will also lead to increased sweating of new mothers.
Postpartum sweating can be divided into physiological and pathological, physiological is normal and will improve within a week; There are two pathological types: night sweats and spontaneous sweating, which take a long time to recover.
2. Postpartum spontaneous sweating
The new mother sweats a lot during the puerperium and lasts for a long time, that is, postpartum spontaneous sweating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spontaneous sweating is mainly caused by postpartum weakness, excessive blood loss during childbirth, deficiency of qi and blood, deficiency of lung qi and decreased skin resistance.
The main symptom is a lot of sweating, can not stop on its own, and the exercise will intensify. Sometimes the hair is cold, the face is bloodless, the voice is too small, and fatigue is weak, which is different from heatstroke and sweating. If left untreated for a long time, due to excessive sweating, people's leucorrhea will be defective, cold will enter the body, menstruation will stop, yang will leak out, and the instability of leucorrhea will eventually turn into postpartum convulsions, amenorrhea, paralysis, body cold and so on.

How long can you lose weight after delivery?
Losing weight is a classic topic that many new mothers will never lose. We all say that pregnancy is the most natural time for women to gain weight, but it doesn't mean that new mothers will lose weight with the end of childbirth. On the contrary, many times, in order to feed the baby with nutritious milk, the mother supplements it excessively after delivery, which makes the baby's body "out of control". How long is it reasonable to lose weight after childbirth in order not to affect the baby?
Generally speaking, we call confinement an opportunity for women to be reborn, so it is not recommended to lose weight during confinement, because losing weight during confinement is also very harmful to the maternal body, and the appropriate period for postpartum weight loss is generally the sixth week after childbirth. At this time, the confinement period has passed and the maternal body has basically recovered well. Mothers can lose weight through proper physical exercise or diet adjustment. In the two months after delivery, you can carry out the weight loss plan step by step, and in the fourth month after delivery, at this time, the maternal physical condition has basically recovered comprehensively, and during this period, the maternal can increase the weight loss, and the weight loss effect during this period is also very good.
