Most postpartum women will have difficulty urinating during confinement, especially those who have caesarean section, which will stimulate the urethra because of the catheter, so there will often be embarrassment that they can't urinate in a short time after pulling out the catheter. Drinking corn silk water at this time is helpful for diuresis and urination.
In traditional Chinese medicine, corn stigma is also called Gracilaria lemaneiformis, which can promote lactation and also has a certain effect of reducing milk. If postpartum women have less milk secretion and milk deposition, they can also drink some soaked corn silk in moderation, which is conducive to increasing milk secretion and promoting lactation. Moreover, the unique diuretic and heat-clearing effect of corn stigma can also be applied to milk, which is helpful for neonatal jaundice to subside as soon as possible. However, corn must be soaked in water, although there are many benefits, but it should also be moderate, especially for pregnant women.
Precautions for confinement are as follows:
1, keep the perineum clean, urinate more, and do not hold your urine. If there is catheterization, indwelling catheter or abrasion around the urethra during delivery, it may stimulate the urethra to produce this uncomfortable feeling. Pay attention to drink more water, urinate more and don't hold your urine in your daily life. You can clean the perineum with warm water, change underwear and perineum pads frequently, and keep the perineum clean. Please go to the hospital when the symptoms are not relieved or aggravated.
2, postpartum weight loss does not need premature birth. Dieting to lose weight is not desirable for ordinary people, especially new mothers. Within 42 days after delivery, the maternal body has not fully recovered to the pre-pregnancy level, so it needs to take in rich nutrition and get adequate rest. In addition, some pregnant women need breastfeeding and nutrition. Postpartum forced dieting, although effective in a short time, may lead to various postpartum complications. After a long time, the nutrition needed for breastfeeding will be insufficient, not only the milk secretion will be reduced, but also the composition of milk will be affected, thus damaging the nutrition of newborns and affecting their growth and development. Postpartum weight loss, not too early, as long as a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, adhere to breastfeeding, generally three months after delivery will slowly lose weight.
3, postpartum skin care carefully choose skin care products. Generally speaking, due to the change of postpartum hormone level, the skin will also show a certain degree of sensitivity and fragility. Preservatives, aromatic compounds and pigments commonly contained in skin care products are the three major substances that cause skin allergies. Although you can use skin care products after delivery, you need to choose carefully and try to avoid using cosmetics. Daily use of skin care products generally does not affect breastfeeding.
4. Postpartum alopecia can recover spontaneously in 6-9 months after delivery. Postpartum alopecia is generally a physiological phenomenon caused by hormone readjustment in postpartum body. It will recover after 6-9 months without special treatment. If hair loss is serious, you can take vitamin B 1, oryzanol, etc. Under the guidance of a doctor. Pay attention to maintain adequate sleep and good mental state in daily life, pay attention to reasonable diet, eat more digestible foods with high protein, low fat, high vitamins and iron, and eat more fresh vegetables.
