Patient's question:
What is postpartum incontinence? I gave birth vaginally and it has been two weeks since the delivery. There is still some blood coming out from my lower body, but since last night, I have been experiencing urinary incontinence. Is it because my body organs got disordered during childbirth? Is it a normal phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: Postpartum urinary incontinence symptoms may be caused by the relaxation of pelvic floor muscles. However, observe the recovery of the uterus after a vaginal birth. During the postpartum period, it's important to relax your emotions, eat more warming foods, and have a small amount of bleeding, which is part of lochia. Avoid staying up late, getting cold, or holding in urine. If there is no improvement after the one-month mark, it's necessary to visit the urology department of the hospital as soon as possible to diagnose the condition.
