Patient's question:
Around a week after giving birth, I experienced lower abdominal heaviness and pain. I didn't see a doctor, and I'm currently in the postpartum period.Doctor's answer:
The lower abdominal experienced by women postpartum is mostly due to uterine inversion. Uterine inversion is mostly caused by improper handling during the third stage of labor (accounting for about 50%), but its prerequisite condition must be the presence of uterine wall relaxation and cervical dilation.
