Childbirth is always a huge stress for a female body. On its reduction in a prenatal state months can be required. Doctors pay especially close attention to a uterus - body to which there are significant changes.
The first several hours after the delivery new mother usually remain in the delivery room under supervision of the obstetricians who are carefully watching her state and checking soft patrimonial ways regarding existence of gaps and bleedings. Usually later an hour the 4th woman (if childbirth took place without excesses) is brought to a toilet then leave in postnatal office.
Curious fact: during pregnancy the uterus grows more than by 500 times!
The uterus is exposed during the postnatal period to big changes. Executed the function of incubation of the child, in the first days after the birth it is open approximately on 10 cm and more than a kilogram – as at yet not given rise woman weighs. By tenth day it is gradually closed. Three weeks later also the external pharynx is closed. It gets a slit-like form from all giving birth women. Totally the period of reduction of a uterus to the initial size and weight (about 50 g) can last up to one and a half months.
Full conclusion of all liquids and the remains of a placenta from a cavity of a body and prevention of education in clots which can contribute to the development of an infection is necessary for prevention of inflammations.
All these weeks leave a genital tract the plentiful allocations differing on color and intensity depending on a stage of healing of a uterus: intensivy brown till tenth day, then they brighten more and more while from third week do not become transparent, similar to slime. 6-8 weeks later after the delivery the first already begin monthly which women can sometimes confuse with postnatal allocations and cry about it wolf.
If to speak about other postnatal changes, then muscles of a crotch get initial a tone in 10-12 days, and the gleam of a vagina extends and do not return to an initial state.
Quite often during the postnatal period there can be problems with reduction of a uterus. Can be the cause as polycarpous pregnancy or big weight of the baby, and benign tumors and violation of blood clotting. In such cases to the woman in labor usually prescribe the medicines containing oxytocin which stimulates reductions. It is necessary to distinguish inflammation of endometrium and an erosion of a neck of the uterus from the possible pathologies arising after the delivery. The first is the complication caused by abundance of water and is treated by means of the antibiotics which are written out by the expert. At an erosion additional analyses and a kolposkopiya trebtsya. If they do not reveal additional complications, will be just observations at the gynecologist enough.
In order to avoid complications with a neck of the uterus to the woman are extremely recommended to have gynecologic examination 2 weeks later and a month later after the child's birth.
In certain cases after the delivery the uterus can fall – usually this consequence of difficult delivery which can lead to injuries of a pelvic bottom. There are several stages of omission of a uterus. At the first stage will be rather special gymnastics and intake of anesthetics in the presence of unpleasant feelings in the lower part of a stomach. The second and third extent of omission inevitably involve surgical intervention.
