During the postpartum recovery period, women often experience uterine contractions and pain, which is a common physiological phenomenon. However, some women, due to their sensitive constitution and lower pain points, sometimes find it difficult to tolerate this pain, so certain relief measures need to be taken. So what are some tips to relieve uterine contraction pain?
1. Moderate massage. Pain during the recovery period of postpartum uterine contractions in women can be relieved through massage. After rubbing the palm hot, gently massage the lower abdomen, but the movement must be gentle and not excessive force. If it is a cesarean section, women should not undergo this type of massage temporarily to avoid touching the incision and affecting normal postoperative recovery. It is advisable to massage in moderation after the suture is removed and the wound is completely healed.
2. Pay attention to taking more rest. Reasonable bed rest can reduce uterine contraction pain. Lying on one's side can have a certain effect on relieving uterine contraction pain. It is important to avoid prolonged leaning, lying down, and sitting for long periods of time, especially standing for too long, to avoid exacerbating abdominal contraction pain.
3. Combined with hot compress. In order to alleviate uterine contraction pain and promote abdominal recovery as soon as possible, after the postpartum lochia is completely eliminated, methods such as hot moxibustion and hot compress can be applied to the lower abdomen, which also has a good effect on relieving postpartum uterine contraction pain. However, this method should not be performed too early to avoid excessive postpartum bleeding. It should be used as appropriate according to one's own situation after the bloody lochia is discharged.
