Postpartum examination: essential knowledge for expectant mothers
Introduction: It is very important for postpartum mothers to have a routine check-up. The new mother shoulders the heavy responsibility of feeding the baby. Through postpartum examination, they can help overcome breast swelling, pain and obstruction. Gynecological diseases caused by wound healing and opening during childbirth can be treated in time if symptoms are found. What matters should mother pay attention to in postpartum examination? Let's have a look.

What should postpartum mother care pay attention to? 1. Postpartum weight examination 1, weight recovery: weight is the basic indicator of human health, and overweight or underweight are abnormal manifestations. After giving birth to the baby, the weight of the new mother will change in stages. Under normal circumstances, it will gradually return to the pre-pregnancy level within 2 months.

2, test reasons: Because we have the habit of confinement, postpartum nutrition is rich, and there are too few activities, which often makes the new mother's weight increase instead of decreasing. Once it exceeds the standard, it will bring many health hazards.

3, detection method: weight measurement is very simple, new mothers can use the pedal scale to measure themselves at home. The best time to measure your weight is about two hours after lunch, and the weight measured at this time can best reflect your physical condition.

4. Test standard: Pay attention to compare the measured weight with the weight before and after pregnancy. Postpartum 1 month, that is, during confinement, the weight should remain basically stable, and the increase or decrease should not exceed 2 kg. Two months after delivery, weight loss, under normal circumstances to reduce 5 ~ 8 kg, close to the pre-pregnancy weight value.

5. Precautions: If the weight does not decrease but increases rapidly, it is necessary to pay attention to properly adjusting the diet and increasing the amount of activity; If you lose weight too fast, you should also pay attention. On the one hand, we should strengthen nutrition, and on the other hand, we can consider checking our metabolic system.

Two: postpartum * * * check 1, check reason: postpartum, * * * will be full of milk and become very plump and delicate. * * * is also very weak, often unable to resist the baby's minor injuries, breast swelling, * * * pain, blockage and so on. Severe mastitis may cause infection.

2. Inspection methods: common palpation, X-ray and color Doppler ultrasound. Postpartum can do a * * * color ultrasound examination, a comprehensive understanding of * * * tissue, check whether there is * * * tissue disease.

3, * * skin: mainly check the color, edema, superficial vein swelling, skin wrinkles and so on. If the skin is red or the above phenomenon exists, pay attention to whether there is milk duct obstruction.

4, * * areola: * * is prone to pain, and even chapped in severe cases. It is necessary to check whether * * * has deformity, uplift, retraction, depression, erosion and desquamation in time, and prevent and treat it in advance; The color of areola is pink.

5.* * * overflow: it is necessary to check whether * * * overflows, and check in detail whether it overflows itself or after extrusion, whether it is unilateral or bilateral, and the characteristics of overflow.

6. Precautions: Pay attention to the cleanliness of * * * before inspection. Try to avoid using alkaline cleaning solution, because alkaline substances will wash off the natural oil on * *, which is very useful for protecting the skin from dryness and cracking. Don't dry it hard after cleaning, pat it gently and air dry naturally.

3. Postpartum blood pressure check 1, check reason: blood pressure is a routine check, which is often misunderstood as routine. In fact, changes in blood pressure will have a serious impact on the body in many ways. Long-term high blood pressure can easily lead to systemic vasospasm and reduce effective circulating blood volume.

2. Regular measurement: Regular measurement of blood pressure can take timely measures to control the increase of postpartum blood pressure, prevent the occurrence of danger, master the fluctuation law of blood pressure, and reduce the health hazards caused by blood pressure changes.

3. Detection method: Go to the hospital for measurement and on-site self-test regularly. Self-test at home needs to bring its own pressure gauge, and it is best to observe it once a day according to the instructions of the pressure gauge. Go to the hospital for test, usually 2 weeks 1 time. If the blood pressure is normal for many times, 0 months can be changed to 1 time.

4. Precautions: When measuring blood pressure, you must be in a quiet state. If you do light activities, you should rest for 10 ~ 15 minutes. It is best not to eat, smoke, hold your urine, be nervous, anxious, too cold or too hot within half an hour before pressure measurement.

Four: postpartum uterus and gynecological examination 1. Reasons for examination: Opening up the pain and suffering during childbirth is the most important thing in postpartum recovery. Gynecological diseases are the most troublesome killers of women's health. The recovery of postpartum pelvic organs is closely related to gynecological diseases, so it is absolutely necessary to conduct a comprehensive gynecological examination.

2, check the wound: uterine recovery, perineum and * * * laceration or suture, cervical recovery, pelvic floor muscle strength, bilateral fallopian tubes and ovaries, postpartum lochia and so on. Diagnosis is made by simultaneous diagnosis and ultrasound examination.

3, * * * secretion: check the amount and color of * * * secretion. If it is bloody secretion, the amount is very large, indicating that the uterus is poor in involution or there is inflammation in the endometrium.

4. Precautions: Before gynecological examination (at least 3 days), it is best not to have * * * lavage, nor to use * * * drugs, because this will flush or cover some potential diseased cells and affect the effect of examination.

5, the doctor reminds: Most doctors disapprove of lavage, on the one hand, lavage will wash away some beneficial bacteria that can prevent infection, on the other hand, there is no guarantee that lavage is absolutely clean.

6, pay attention to defecation: before gynecological examination, you must empty your bladder and take a small amount of laxatives one day in advance to promote defecation. Because the bladder is located in front of the uterus and the rectum is located in the back of the uterus, if the waste cannot be cleaned up, it will interfere with the examination results and even be mistaken for a pelvic mass.

5. Postpartum abdominal examination 1. The reason of examination: There are important organs of digestive system and urogenital system in abdominal cavity, which is an important part of physical examination. Through abdominal examination, we can further understand the shrinkage of postpartum uterus and other organs in abdominal cavity.

2. Healing situation: For new mothers who have caesarean section, abdominal examination is even more important. Cesarean section will bring abnormal pressure to the organs in abdominal cavity, which is more difficult to reset than normal delivery. The healing of incision during cesarean section is also very important.

3. Examination content: mainly check the reset of uterus and other internal organs. The new mother of cesarean section should also check the healing of the incision and whether there is infection.

4. Inspection methods: look, touch, knock and listen, among which palpation is the most important. Because there are many organs in the abdominal cavity, which overlap each other, and the internal physiological functions and pathological reactions are also interrelated, X-ray and ultrasound examination techniques can be used when necessary.

Six: Routine examination of postpartum hematuria 1. Reason for examination: The baby is just born, and its anatomical structure, physiological system and immune system are in a period of recovery and change, which is very easy to cause infection. Blood routine and urine routine can be used to detect the operation of various systems in the body.

2. Examination content: Routine blood examination refers to the counting, detection and analysis of white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin and related data in blood. Urine routine mainly includes urine protein, urine sugar, urine three gallbladder, urine volume, urine specific gravity and urine sediment.

3, precautions: pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, urinary protein and other new mothers, these two tests can not be ignored. Attention should be paid to recovery and routine urine examination. For new mothers with anemia during pregnancy and postpartum hemorrhage, blood routine should be reviewed. If anemia occurs, it should be treated in time.
