After giving birth to a child for 3 months, the body is still swollen

Our body is full of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Blood is responsible for transporting nutrients and waste products through the body. The substance that returns nutrients in the blood is called plasma.

Normally, plasma keeps the arteries open, delivering nutrients and nutrients to all corners of the body, and then sending the waste products that have been metabolized by the body back to the heart through veins and lymphatic vessels.

However, if for some reason the activity of the lymphatic vessels and veins becomes sluggish, the plasma will stagnate, and the water and waste accumulated in the body will not be able to flow smoothly through the body, and will remain between cells. This state is called edema. In particular, the feet are far away from the heart, so the burden of sending blood back to the heart's veins and lymphatic vessels is particularly great, and women with small amounts of muscles that act like pumping machines are more likely to be swollen than men.

For mothers after childbirth, it is necessary to provide their children with sufficient breast milk to replenish a large amount of water. Of course, because the water in breast milk comes from the mother's body, the water in the body will drop rapidly during breastfeeding, resulting in a lack of water. If mothers want to solve this problem, in order to prevent the body from being robbed of more water, they should store as much water as possible for the body during this period.

It is precisely for this reason that after childbirth, the body appears to be swollen for a short period of time.

If you start to show signs of edema, if you don't replenish water, the flow of blood will be affected badly, and it will increase the burden on the bladder and kidneys. This will make the body more swollen. Because the body has adapted to producing breast milk on its own, once the milk has been produced normally and steadily, it will naturally cause edema, so you can rest assured.

If there are no symptoms, please drink some water and eat some foods that control salt.

However, if the paralysis that accompanies edema persists beyond the eighth week after delivery, there may be a possibility of other diseases latent in the postpartum period. Especially for mothers who suffer from pregnancy poisoning during pregnancy, it is very necessary to pay attention to this tendency if they have a tendency to do so.

After giving birth, the weight will generally drop by 5 kg a day, of course, because the baby's weight has been left behind the mother's weight at this time.

At this time, probably the most terrifying thing for mothers is puffiness.

Edema is an endocrine disorder, specifically a disorder of water metabolism. Generally it has the greatest relationship with nutritional disorders, in the years of famine, people are generally edema, pregnant women to the late stage of pregnancy fetuses crazy from the mother to take nutrition, some women in the perinatal period and do not have the correct nutritional knowledge, like to give pregnant women sweets or high-calorie food, either maternal weight gain, or maternal malnutrition, edema, gestational hypertension and other serious perinatal diseases, but generally with the fetus leaving the mother, these disease symptoms have disappeared. It is estimated that you are busy again**, to restore the former style, I estimate that you have adopted a less scientific ** method such as simply eating less or not eating, resulting in malnutrition before edema, the way to recover is to restore the amount of food, eat more, eat a few large bowls per meal, the amount of food goes up, and the edema will naturally disappear.

If you are worried about weight gain, do not eat foods with sugar, do not eat big fish and meat, stir-fried, fried and other high-fat foods, I generally favor a perinatal vegetarian diet, but this is contrary to people's perception, in fact, people give pregnant women in the perinatal period to eat all non-nutritious junk food, the real nutrition is vegetarian.

Postpartum edema refers to the edema of the eyes or limbs after childbirth. On the one hand, edema is caused by the enlargement of the uterus and the impact of blood circulation, and on the other hand, due to the influence of progesterone, the body's metabolic water status deteriorates, and the body will have edema. Edema suggests a physical illness in the new mother 1. If the puffiness starts on the face and then spreads to the whole body, then there is a high possibility of kidney disease, but it is also possible that it is acute nephritis or kidney disease.

2. If it starts to be swollen from the feet, then it may be heart disease, hypoproteinemia, liver cirrhosis, etc. 3. In the late stage of pregnancy, the whole body and feet are prone to edema, but if the edema is severe, it may be pre-eclampsia, postpartum mother's net. Why are new mothers prone to edema 1. In the late stage of pregnancy, some pregnant women will have edema due to the enlargement of the uterus, which compresses the veins of the lower limbs and affects blood circulation, and some edema will not subside during the puerperium (confinement period).

2. There are also some new mothers whose endocrine system will be affected by pregnancy, and the body's function of metabolizing water will change, and part of the excess water will be retained out of a special physiological need, which is manifested as edema, and the typical symptom is edema of the lower limbs. 3. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that postpartum edema is caused by the dysfunction of some organs, which generally involves the lungs, spleen and kidneys. During pregnancy, expectant mothers eat more and move less, the function of the viscera itself is inhibited, coupled with the damage of qi and blood after childbirth, the function of transporting water is further reduced, and the excess water stays in the legs and cannot be metabolized.

Expert tips to prevent edema 1. Although it is not necessary to control the new mother's drinking water, it is necessary to drink less before going to bed. 2. Make sure the food is light and not too salty. 3. Don't eat too much supplements, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys.

4. You can eat more meat or fish with less fat.

Analysis: Hello. If the body still has edema 2 months after giving birth, it is necessary to consider whether there is a kidney disease or abnormal protein metabolism.

Suggestions: It is recommended that you go to the internal medicine department of the hospital for an examination, especially for a liver and kidney function examination, and a laboratory test for all blood biochemistry items, especially to see if there is any abnormality in albumin. It is necessary to clarify the cause before the cause of the illness can be corrected.

At the same time, it can also be used in conjunction with TCM syndrome differentiation for water dilution, abrasion, swelling and other conditioning**.
