Why do you need chest care after delivery?

A Although it varies from person to person, during pregnancy to lactation, while the breast develops and the chest enlarges, the elongation of the suspensory ligament of the breast is the main reason for postpartum chest prolapse. The so-called suspensory ligament of the breast refers to a complex fiber bundle that supports the breast tissue and adipose tissue and is connected with the thoracic tendon. Its main function is to maintain the shape of the chest. During pregnancy and lactation, the developed mammary glands will stretch the suspensory ligament of the breast. After weaning, the contraction of the breast will become smaller, but the stretched suspensory ligament will not return to its original appearance. In this way, postpartum women's breasts will lose their elasticity and tension and become droopy. Once the suspensory ligament of the breast is stretched, it is difficult to recover. In order to control the stretching range to the minimum, it is necessary to take corresponding anti-sagging measures from pregnancy to breastfeeding. Whether prenatal or postpartum, according to the size of the chest, choose a bra and vest with appropriate shoulder straps (vest underwear, more convenient).

Q5 Why do you need nursing PP after delivery?

During pregnancy, because of the fetus and amniotic fluid, the quality of the uterus will be 20 times as high as usual, and the capacity (that is, volume) will be 2000~2500 times as high as usual. The width of the uterus will also increase by about 30 cm. This change will stretch the muscles in the uterus, even the muscles in the abdomen and buttocks. After 6~8 weeks postpartum, the uterus will return to the size before pregnancy, but after a long stretch during pregnancy, the muscles of the abdomen and buttocks will not return to their original state. Even if the original weight is restored after delivery, the fat accumulated during pregnancy and stretched skin will not return to their original state. Postpartum, the relaxation of the abdomen and buttocks is of course due to the stretching of the skin during pregnancy. In addition, the increase of fat during pregnancy is also closely related to the weakness of muscles serving as substrates. Postpartum muscles are very relaxed, so we should first put a little pressure on them with special postpartum repair products, and at the same time stimulate collagen fibers and muscles containing fat. In addition, you can wear postpartum repair supplies (tights? ) Fix the fat with sagging tendency in a proper position, shape the streamline of the body, and make the body look more beautiful.

Q6 Why do you need to care for pelvis after delivery?

During pregnancy, the body will gradually enter the mother mode. The hormone "relaxin" secreted during pregnancy will gradually relax the pelvis to prepare for delivery, and the pubic junction will reach the maximum relaxation during delivery. In order to let the baby give birth smoothly, the pelvis will reach the maximum opening after delivery. In addition, the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis are also damaged by overstretching because the baby with a diameter of about 10 cm needs to pass smoothly during delivery. Therefore, it is necessary to take good care of the relaxed pelvic joints and stretched pelvic floor muscles, including the pubic junction, after delivery, so that they can recover slowly.

Q7 Why do you need pelvic care immediately after delivery?

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to pelvic relaxation.

The pubic symphysis is the most relaxed during childbirth, which is influenced by hormones. In order to let the baby pass smoothly, the pelvic opening is the largest just after delivery.

In addition, (as above, omitted here, please refer to Q6)

Q8 What symptoms can pelvic relaxation cause?

Pelvic relaxation can cause various symptoms.

Low back pain, urine leakage, lower body edema, shoulder pain, etc. And pelvic relaxation is likely to bring all kinds of troubles (diseases) to women.

In addition, pelvic floor muscle stretching may also lead to a female-specific disease "female pelvic floor dysfunction disease", and its symptoms include: urinary incontinence, frequent urination, bladder tumor, repeated cystitis and so on.

As long as the loose and skewed pelvis is corrected, the above symptoms can be alleviated and improved, so pelvic care is very necessary.

Where should Q9 be tied when nursing pelvis (is this a product like a cloth belt? )

The best effect is to tie/bind the intestinal bone (waist bone) to the greater trochanter (where the femur is raised) below its maximum opening.

Q 10 What is the pelvic floor muscle?

Pelvic floor muscles are composed of three solid fibrous tissues and skeletal muscles, namely, the pelvic fascia that supports the internal organs upward, the pelvic diaphragm that supports the internal organs of the pelvis, and the perineum and superficial perineal muscles that tighten the pelvic diaphragm left and right. Like a hanging hammock, they support the internal organs of the pelvis, such as bladder, uterus and rectum, and prevent them from sagging.

These (tissues and skeletal muscles) are collectively called pelvic floor muscles.

Pelvic floor muscles also tighten the urethra and anus.

Its area is about 120~ 150 cm2, and the thickness of women in their twenties is 5~9 cm.

During pregnancy, the pelvic floor muscles have to bear the increased weight and oppression of the uterus.

During childbirth, in order to let the baby with a diameter of about 10 cm pass through the birth canal smoothly, the pelvic floor muscles and fibrous tissues are often damaged by pulling.

After multiple deliveries, the pelvic floor muscles will become easier to stretch (no wonder my mother said that the second child is more likely to have TT)

In addition, with the increase of age, the pelvic floor muscles will become thinner and worse, just like a stretched rubber.

The persistence of this deterioration makes women suffer from "female pelvic floor dysfunction diseases", such as urinary incontinence, bladder tumor, rectal cancer, recurrent cystitis and so on.

I wish the baby and mother health and beauty-
