Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Could you please tell me what check-ups are needed for postpartum women at 42 days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is important to pay attention to the question of what to check during the postpartum 42-day examination. Regarding the question of what to check during the postpartum 42-day examination, here is the answer for you:Because the mother's uterus is approximately restored around 42 days postpartum, it is recommended that both mother and baby undergo a comprehensive health check at the medical facility where the delivery took place and receive guidance from the doctor to promptly identify any abnormalities.
Postpartum examinations include many items, in addition to blood tests, urine tests, and a full physical examination, they also require comprehensive gynecological and obstetric examinations. Gynecological and obstetric examinations mainly focus on checking pelvic organs to see if the uterus has returned to normal, whether the vaginal environment has been restored, whether there is erosion of the cervix, and whether the perineum and vaginal lacerations or suture sites have healed.
