After completion of delivery, when the latter leaves the uterus, its intensive contraction and reduction in size begins. Uterus after giving birth takes the form of a ball and weighs about 1 kg, and by the end of the recovery period - 50 grams.
There is some deformation of the cervix after childbirth, which can be noticed only by the personal gynecologist who is giving birth. The round outlines of the external pharynx can not be restored and take the form of a gap. And the uterine neck will become cylindrical, rather than conical in shape.
However, the entire process of restoring the genital organ can be complicated by concomitant pathologies, some of which are described in this article.
Cleaning of the uterus after childbirth
This procedure will have to go in the event that the remains of the placenta or clots of blood clots are found in the uterus. It can be found on the next ultrasound of the uterus after childbirth. The reason for the lack of self-cleaning of the muscle is an inadequate labor activity, in which the doctor manually separates the placenta from the uterus, or if the latter is too tightly attached. Cleaning can be done both medically and operatively, but it is necessary to do this without fail. Ignoring the procedure is fraught with inflammation and endometritis .
Bending of the uterus after childbirth
The weak muscles of the pelvis and the reduced tonus of the ligaments, due to the child's bearing, contribute to the uterine displacement, or the bend. Under the influence of these factors, as well as with complex delivery, very often marked by a deviation of the uterus back, accompanied by its bend. This can lead to limited organ activity, pain and functional abnormalities. There are special exercises for the uterus after childbirth, which can be performed at home.
Myoma of the uterus after childbirth
This is a fairly common disease of the uterus, in which tumors of a benign nature appear in its muscular membrane. Untimely disposal of this pathology is fraught with early and late complications after delivery, namely:
- increment of the placenta;
- too tight attachment of the placental organ and its partial separation;
- copious postpartum hemorrhage;
- low uterine tone;
- infection of the uterine cavity;
- impossibility of returning the uterus to the original parameters.
Polyps in the uterus after childbirth
In time to notice the presence of this pathology is very difficult, since its initial stage develops with bleeding, characteristic for the postpartum period. The cause of polyps may be a previous abortion or scraping. Detect placental polyp is possible only by ultrasound, after which immediate hospitalization and curettage of the uterine cavity after delivery is required. The next stage will be a rehabilitation period, accompanied by the use of antibacterial and anti-anemic drugs.
Removal of the uterus after childbirth
There are several reasons that influence the operation of hysterectomy, namely, removal of the uterus. These include:
- Enometriosis and inability to stop uterine bleeding;
- prolapse of the uterus as a result of rupture of the pelvic floor;
- the influence of the displaced reproductive organ on the function of the gallbladder and other postpartum complications.
Inflammation of the uterus after childbirth
It can be caused by: cesarean operation, prolonged delivery, absence or non-compliance with hygienic and sanitary standards, placenta previa and so on. Symptoms of inflammation of the uterus after childbirth are characterized by high temperature. Symptoms of inflammation of the uterus after childbirth are characterized by a rapid pulse, increased temperature, painful and enlarged uterus, fever, purulent discharge and so on.
If you have a uterus after birth, you do not need to delay with a visit or an appeal to a gynecologist.
