How to speed up the discharge of uterine residue

When a woman gives birth or has an abortion, there may be residues in her uterus. Measures must be taken to expel the residues in the uterus, otherwise it may cause more serious symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain, or even life-threatening. Some measures can be taken to accelerate the excretion of uterine remnants. Here we will introduce how to accelerate the excretion of uterine remnants.

method :

1. Get out of bed and move around

The residue in the uterus after delivery will also affect uterine contraction. In addition to helping stop bleeding from uterine wounds and discharge lochia through strong contractions, getting out of bed and walking around can help discharge lochia faster, which can also help uterine contractions go more smoothly.

2. Nutritional supplements

Different foods contain different nutrients, and a balanced diet is the best dietary principle. In order to better recover the uterine wound after delivery, supplementing with vitamin C can help blood coagulation and wound epidermis recovery.

In addition, if the amount of bleeding during delivery is heavy, anemia is more likely to occur, which in turn causes insufficient blood oxygen and leads to weak muscle contractions. Therefore, you should also supplement iron in moderation and take vitamins specifically for pregnant women in a timely manner.

3. Breastfeeding

Some women say that they can feel the pain of uterine contractions more when breastfeeding. This is because the body secretes oxytocin through the stimulation of the baby's sucking during breastfeeding. Oxytocin not only causes the brain to secrete endorphins, which makes people feel happy, but also promotes uterine contraction.

4. Sit up straight and pay attention to body hygiene

Hold your arms in front of your chest, inhale, lift your pelvis forward, and then slowly backward until your abdominal muscles are tense, and maintain this position for a while. Try to breathe normally at this time. In addition, you should pay attention to vaginal hygiene after delivery to avoid causing genital tract inflammation, which will further affect the recovery of the uterus.

5. Keep your uterus warm and avoid coldness

Keeping warm can promote blood circulation and increase muscle contraction strength. Therefore, hot compresses can improve poor uterine contractions after delivery and relieve the pain caused by uterine contractions. On the contrary, cold things will slow down uterine contractions, so you should try to avoid eating cold foods after delivery.

6. Rest

If the body is too tired, the strength of muscle contraction will also be weaker. Although you have to immediately face baby care issues such as breastfeeding, comforting the baby, and changing diapers after delivery, sufficient sleep and proper rest are necessary for the normal functioning of physiological functions.

Note :

1. Don’t eat sweets deliberately. Such as drinks, cakes, brown sugar, and candies. Prevent blood sugar instability and avoid aggravating various discomforts during menstruation.

2. Eat more high-fiber foods, such as: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, whole wheat noodles, brown rice, oatmeal and other foods. Eating enough high-fiber foods can promote the secretion of estrogen, increase the magnesium content in the blood, regulate menstruation and calm the nerves.

3. Eat some foods rich in B vitamins such as walnuts, cashews, dried beans, etc. between meals.

4. Eat enough protein. Eat more high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, tofu, soybeans, etc. to replenish the nutrients and minerals lost during menstruation.

5. Food should be eaten at regular times and in regular amounts. It can prevent blood sugar from rising or falling suddenly, reduce accelerated heartbeat, and relieve discomfort such as dizziness, fatigue, and emotional instability.

6. Avoid consuming caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, etc., as these beverages will increase anxiety and uneasiness. You can drink barley tea or mint tea instead.

7. Avoid eating food that is too hot, too cold, or has drastic temperature changes.

8. Women who suffer from severe blood loss should take more high-fiber foods such as spinach, candied dates, red vegetables (vegetables with red soup), raisins, etc. to help replenish blood.
