After many postpartum women have undergone examinations, doctors will instruct them to come for a follow-up examination after 42 days. The examination is related to the physical health status of the postpartum women, so if a follow-up examination is needed, the postpartum women must come back according to the date stated by the doctor. So, what do I need to bring for a 42 day follow-up?
After a 42 day follow-up, it is still necessary to go to the original hospital for examination, so there is no need to bring a lot of things. Just bring your discharge certificate or medical card. When a woman is pregnant, there are changes in hormones in her body, which in turn cause changes in the body's systems. These changes can slowly recover after childbirth, and this recovery takes some time, about 42 days. Therefore, a follow-up examination is only needed after 42 days. This recovery time is usually also known as the postpartum period, which is the period of confinement.
The 42 day follow-up mainly checks how the uterus is recovering, whether the birth canal is recovering properly, and whether there are any complications. Women can also ask some questions about postpartum recovery. After 42 days, you can't completely rest assured. You still need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see if there are any remaining issues, so as not to have minor problems that may affect your health.
When women undergo re examination, they should wear more clothes on their body to prevent exposure to wind and cold. If there are no problems after the re examination, women should continue to maintain the cleanliness of their external genitalia and refrain from sexual intercourse in the short term. It is best to wait two months after giving birth before having sex. Moreover, women who undergo cesarean section also need at least two to three months to recover postpartum.
