During confinement, women should not only strengthen their own repair and care, but also closely observe changes in their bodies. If there are any abnormal symptoms, they should be taken seriously in a timely manner and checked at the hospital. However, what is the reason for feeling something falling off during confinement?
During confinement, if something falls off, it may be due to postpartum lochia being expelled. During confinement, women's bodies will experience lochia discharge, which can cause them to feel like something has fallen off. This is actually a phenomenon of lochia flowing out through the vagina. Postpartum lochia is mostly excess placental residue in the uterus, which is a normal phenomenon.
As the female body and uterus gradually recover, these residues will gradually be eliminated, and lochia will also gradually disappear. During this period, women should pay attention to maintaining the hygiene and cleanliness of the genital area, and can take blood activating and stasis dissolving drugs under the guidance of a doctor to assist in the elimination of lochia. At the same time, women should also observe the changes in lochia. The amount of lochia will gradually decrease, and the color will change from dark red at the beginning to milky white at the end.
However, this phenomenon may also be the cause of postpartum uterine prolapse. Many women experience varying degrees of compression on their uterus during childbirth, and excessive postpartum fatigue can lead to uterine prolapse. This situation has a significant impact on women and may cause problems such as urinary leakage.
