Why do women leak urine after childbirth? Female postpartum urinary leakage is mainly caused by pelvic floor muscle relaxation. Pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles enclosed in the pelvic floor, which can support bladder, urethra, uterus, rectum and other organs and make them play their respective roles. During childbirth, women's pelvic floor muscles will be involved and injured in different ways, which will lead to the contraction of pelvic floor muscles, weakened support function and urinary incontinence. Therefore, most women will have urinary incontinence after delivery.
Some women may think, since it is related to pelvic floor muscle relaxation, can pelvic floor muscles be repaired to improve urine leakage when pelvic floor muscles are relaxed? Indeed, some doctors pointed out that women need to do pelvic floor muscle assessment and testing 42 days after delivery. Generally, one year after delivery is the golden repair period of pelvic floor muscles. Repair at this stage can restore the pelvic floor muscles to normal and prevent urine leakage in the later stage.
What should I do if there is leakage of urine after delivery? First, do pelvic floor muscle repair.
If postpartum urinary leakage is frequent and serious, pelvic floor muscle repair can be done. In daily life, the vagina can be exercised to achieve a compact effect, and anal contraction can be used to assist dumbbell exercise. Stick to 15 minutes every day for 3 months, and the effect is obvious.
Second, instrument therapy
At present, some hospitals adopt a more advanced way, that is, using instruments to help repair the pelvic floor muscles, and electrically stimulating the muscles around the pelvic floor muscles to make the pelvic floor muscles quickly return to normal.
For most women, there are three kinds of postpartum pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, which are mild, moderate and severe. In this regard, Zhang Dikai, chief physician of gynecology department of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that most of the light and heavy patients are vaginal relaxation, and vaginitis and urinary system infections will occur repeatedly; Moderate symptoms are mostly urinary incontinence, and urine leakage will occur when sneezing, laughing or walking; If the symptoms are serious, there will be problems such as pelvic organ shedding.
In short, postpartum urinary leakage is a manifestation of urinary incontinence. It is necessary to grasp the environmental repair period of pelvic floor muscles within one year after delivery. Repair during this period can make your pelvic floor muscles recover well, thus preventing urine leakage in the later period.
