What is the cause of postpartum abdominal distension? The causes of postpartum abdominal distension are: 1. Pregnant women's abdomen will not disappear immediately after delivery, and the process of returning to the original position is very slow, and some will never come back. 2. It may be that the nursing function is not done well. Postpartum care is very important for women's recovery, especially for women's abdominal contraction. If women listen to the traditional method of confinement because they are afraid of postpartum pain or because they are lazy, and do not do some exercises that help to increase the elasticity of abdominal muscles, thus affecting the contraction of abdominal muscles, then it is very likely that abdominal muscles will relax and lead to abdominal protrusion. Therefore, if you want to avoid this situation, you must do a good job of exercise. 3. Separation of rectus abdominis, which usually returns to its original position within six months to one year after delivery. But if the abdominal wall itself is weak, or twins, the fetus is too large, amniotic fluid is too much, or multiple births. Six months after delivery, the rectus abdominis still unable to recover to its original position is called postpartum rectus abdominis separation. It will cause your stomach to bulge. It may be caused by obesity, and it's nothing serious. After obesity, fat can easily accumulate in the abdomen, and there will be fat attached to organs in the abdominal cavity, so the abdomen will be bigger.
Have you been given oxytocin after delivery? Mothers with poor postpartum uterine recovery can take oxytocin. Intramuscular injection of oxytocin takes effect in 3 ~ 5 minutes and lasts for 30 ~ 60 minutes. Intravenous drip takes effect immediately, and the frequency and intensity of uterine contraction gradually increase within 15 ~ 60 minutes, then tend to be stable, and its effect gradually weakens after 20 minutes of drip. The half-life is generally 1 ~ 6 minutes. This product is metabolized by liver and kidney and excreted by kidney, and a very small amount is prototype. Oxytocin promotes uterine contraction and has no harm to the body. Postpartum Mabao should pay attention to rest, avoid overworked life, strengthen nutrition, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, avoid cold, spicy and irritating food, pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, and prohibit sexual life within one month. Contraction is a feeling of tightness in the stomach and pain in the lower abdomen, which will appear throughout pregnancy.
