After giving birth, will dysmenorrhea be better?
My good friend Xiao Wang recently gave birth to a baby. This is a happy event, but there is one thing that bothers her. Xiao Wang didn't have dysmenorrhea before pregnancy, but after giving birth to the baby, menstruation came again and began to have dysmenorrhea, and the amount of menstruation was much more than before. Xiao Wang thought to himself that many people around him said that they would not have dysmenorrhea after giving birth. Why do I have no dysmenorrhea, but it hurts so much after giving birth? What is the reason? With questions, Xiao Wang went to the hospital for an examination. It turned out that pelvic inflammatory disease after Xiao Wang gave birth to a child led to Xiao Wang's dysmenorrhea.
Why do women have dysmenorrhea?
Dysmenorrhea is divided into
Primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. As the name implies, primary dysmenorrhea refers to pain from the beginning of menstruation. Secondary dysmenorrhea is that there is no pain at the beginning of menarche, and there is pain at a certain stage.
1. Primary dysmenorrhea
Women who have never given birth will have a narrow cervix. During menstruation, menstrual blood and exfoliated endometrium will not be discharged smoothly, blocking the cervix and causing dysmenorrhea. The dysmenorrhea caused by this reason will be relieved after giving birth to a child. During menstruation, women secrete a substance called prostaglandin. The increase of this substance will lead to uterine contraction, vasospasm and dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea caused by this hormone is generally not relieved by giving birth to a child. 2. Secondary dysmenorrhea
Secondary dysmenorrhea is usually caused by some intrauterine diseases, such as adenomyosis and pelvic infection. The dysmenorrhea caused by these diseases should be treated and cured, and it will disappear. Among them, adenomyosis has a high incidence among pregnant women aged 30-50, which is why some people have no dysmenorrhea before delivery, but they start dysmenorrhea after delivery.
How to alleviate the pain caused by dysmenorrhea?
For primary dysmenorrhea, light exercise can help menstrual blood discharge. If you are serious, you should rest more and keep warm. You can also consult a doctor, and under the guidance of a doctor, use some Chinese patent medicines or contraceptives and painkillers to relieve menstrual pain. Secondary dysmenorrhea must be treated actively according to the symptoms, so as to achieve the effect of treating the symptoms and curing the root cause.
Several signs of good health after delivery
1. lochia
Generally, lochia will be discharged within 42 days after delivery. If lochia keeps dripping and smells, it may be pelvic inflammatory disease, so it should be treated as soon as possible.
2. Menstrual spasm
Breastfeeding mothers may resume menstruation four months after delivery, while non-breastfeeding mothers usually menstruate six weeks after delivery. If there is severe pain in postpartum menstruation, you should be admitted to the hospital in time to judge whether the postpartum body is not recovering well and whether there are diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
3. Uterine recovery
After giving birth to the baby, the uterus gradually recovered. 42 days after delivery, go back to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Experienced doctors can judge whether the uterus has recovered well by touching the position of the fundus or measuring the size of the uterus by B-ultrasound.
