How long can I do pelvic floor muscle exercise after delivery?
42 days after delivery, pelvic floor function should be checked routinely. If there are pelvic floor dysfunction problems such as pelvic floor muscle relaxation, vaginal wall bulging, stress urinary incontinence, etc., timely examination and rehabilitation should be carried out.
Three months after delivery is the best time for pelvic floor rehabilitation, otherwise, with the increase of age, it will not only increase the difficulty of treatment, but also increase the incidence of pelvic floor dysfunction such as uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Therefore, it is a wise choice for every mother to pay attention to pelvic floor function examination and carry out pelvic floor rehabilitation as soon as possible.
Due to the decrease of labor force and the development of traffic, modern women have less and less walking time. This will lead to underdeveloped ligaments and muscles around the lower body and pelvis, which will become excessively slack after pregnancy. After birth, the pelvis will relax to the maximum extent! The pelvic wheel becomes unstable. So, how long can the pelvis recover after delivery?
Pelvic relaxation may lead to the following symptoms: distorted figure, low back pain, shoulder pain, difficulty in walking, prolapse of internal organs and uterus and urinary incontinence. Because the pelvis supports the upper body, when the pelvis is relaxed, it depends on the muscles of the buttocks, such as the muscles of the humerus, the medial humerus and the waist, which leads to body deformation and is prone to low back pain and shoulder pain. You can't even give your feet the same strength. If it's serious, it will cause walking obstacles. In addition, visceral and uterine prolapse is also prone to occur. In severe cases, uterine prolapse may also occur. In addition, due to production reasons, not only the pelvis, but also the muscles will become slack and prone to urinary incontinence.
Severe pelvic relaxation is also easy to cause postpartum hemorrhage. Because once the pelvis is relaxed, it will dislocate, the edge of the sacrum will fall into the inside of the pelvis, cut the cervix, and the uterine artery will be scratched together, causing massive bleeding.
Generally speaking, the body will return to normal within one to two months after delivery. However, the state of pelvis will not automatically return to the prenatal state, which requires postpartum maintenance and exercise. It is ideal to tighten the pelvis within 2 months. Because it takes two months for the ligament to recover to its original hardness.
Nursing care of postpartum pelvic floor repair
Most mothers attach great importance to the recovery of their postpartum figure, but little is known about the pelvic floor function damage and postpartum pelvic floor repair caused by pregnancy and childbirth.
Whether it is a natural delivery or caesarean section, the change of hormones during pregnancy and the increase of fetuses and their appendages during pregnancy, gravity will cause certain damage to women's pelvic floor function. The incidence of pelvic floor dysfunction in women over 30 years old is as high as 40% ~ 50% due to factors such as fertility, disease and aging.
If the parturient does not receive any treatment after delivery, with the increase of age, the hormone level will decrease, the muscle ligament will become slack and the symptoms will become more and more serious. Middle-aged and elderly people are likely to have different degrees of stress urinary incontinence, and some even develop uterine and pelvic organ prolapse.
Forty-two days after delivery is the best time to repair the pelvic floor. At this stage, the mother carries out routine pelvic floor muscle training to increase the muscle strength and elasticity of pelvic floor muscles, restore the pelvic floor function to normal, enhance the vaginal tightening degree and improve the quality of sexual life. At the same time, it is beneficial to prevent and treat pelvic floor diseases such as urinary incontinence, uterine and pelvic organ prolapse. Biofeedback therapy is an effective prevention and treatment method introduced in China in recent years.
