Problems with health: postnatal complications

Problems with health: postnatal complications

Can seem to the pregnant woman that her main task is to endure childbirth, and further everything will get better by itself. Unfortunately, sometimes after appearance of the kid on light of a problem with health only begin.

One of the most dangerous postnatal complications is a uterine bleeding. It can arise not only directly during childbirth, but also later. Its reasons are diverse: a premature otsloyka of a placenta or a delay of its part, violation of reductions of a uterus or its trauma in the course of childbirth. In risk group there are women who are giving birth to twins. Provoke uterine bleeding and rapid childbirth.

Normal bloody allocations have to be plentiful in the first 2-3 days after the delivery, then they become brownish, and by the end of the second week – yellowish, the amount of blood decreases. If instead of coming to naught, bloody allocations amplify and gain bright red color – means, uterine bleeding begins.

At any infectious postnatal complication it is impossible to nurse the child or the decanted milk to an absolute recovery.

Another postnatal a complication – an endometritis, the inflammation of a uterus developing within a week after the delivery. It happens to women who in the past had abortions, there are infections, sexually transmitted. Other risk factors – the waterless period is more than 12 hours, Cesarean section. Manifestations of an endometritis – belly-ache, temperature increase up to 40 degrees, the fever, bright red bloody allocations having an unpleasant smell.

Even more crushing infectious defeat – peritonitis, inflammation of an abdominal cavity. It is shown by high temperature, a fever, weakness, belly-ache, sometimes vomiting too. Peritonitis can develop into sepsis – the general blood poisoning. Fast deterioration in a state is characteristic of both diseases. Both peritonitis, and blood poisoning can lead to death. In 90% of cases golden staphylococcus – the representative of "hospital" microflora with whom both children, and mothers easily are infected in maternity hospitals becomes the cause of peritonitis and sepsis. It can become the cause of mastitis – inflammations of a mammary gland. Most often infection occurs through cracks in nipples.

Some advise at mastitis to put ice to a breast. Such "treatment" does not influence mastitis at all and can lead to pneumonia.

The first symptom of mastitis – emergence of consolidations in a breast. It becomes heavy to decant milk, and then – it is sick, very quickly affected breast increases in volume, reddens. The fever begins, temperature rises up to 39 degrees or even above. At all these diseases the self-treatment is inadmissible and is even life-threatening, it is necessary to see a doctor urgently. There are complications not so dangerous, but nevertheless requiring attention – for example, a lock. This violation is not so harmless as can seem: the crowded intestines prevent a uterus to be reduced, and toxins can get to milk. To accept laxative, especially without medical prescription, it is impossible for nursing mothers, with a lock it is necessary to fight against the help of a diet. Not less widespread complication – the hemorrhoids arising because of tension at attempts. Its first signs – burning and an itch in the field of back pass. At such symptoms it is necessary to address the doctor-proctologist at once, in the started cases hemorrhoids it is necessary to treat in the surgical way, and at an early stage there are enough ointments and rectal candles. At some women – especially at those which gave birth several times incontinence of urine at cough, sneezing, laughter or physical activity is after the delivery observed. It happens because of weakening of muscles of a pelvic bottom. In this case you should not hesitate or expect that violation will take place by itself, it is necessary to address the urologist or the gynecologist.
