What are the reasons for postpartum hair loss?
There are several reasons for postpartum hair loss. The most common one is due to women experiencing weakness in their vital energy and blood after childbirth, which fails to nourish the scalp resulting in hair loss. Another reason is the significant hormonal changes in a woman's body after giving birth, which leads to the scalp losing these hormone nourishments, causing the hair to gradually fall out. Additionally, some women experience depression postpartum. Poor mood can also affect the body's metabolism, and hair loss is more likely to occur if nutritional supply is inadequate. Furthermore, if a woman does not promptly nourish and regulate her body after childbirth and instead starts dieting or attempting to lose weight without adequate nutrition, this can lead to insufficient scalp nutrition and affect metabolism, resulting in hair loss.
How long does it take for the placenta to come out after a natural miscarriage?
During a natural miscarriage, the timing of the placenta's expulsion is not fixed. In some cases, the fetus and placenta may be expelled together soon after abdominal pain begins, while in others, the expulsion may occur slightly later. After the fetus is expelled, it may be minutes or hours before the placenta is expelled. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination after a natural miscarriage to check if the uterine cavity is clean and free of any residual tissue. After a natural miscarriage, it is important to take care of oneself. Resting, avoiding overexertion, keeping warm, and not getting chilled are crucial. Strengthening nutrition is also important; consuming foods rich in vitamins and protein can help replenish energy, enhance physical condition, and promote recovery.
Symptoms of postpartum uterine prolapse
When postpartum women experience uterine prolapse, they often feel a sensation of heaviness in the abdomen, noticing a swollen mass protruding from the vulva. Postpartum uterine prolapse can be categorized into mild, moderate, and severe prolapse. In mild cases, there is generally just a sensation of heaviness, while moderate to severe prolapse can cause difficulties in urinating and urinary incontinence. Additionally, during a gynecological examination, a protruding cervix can be detected near the entrance of the vagina, and when this condition occurs, timely rehabilitative treatment is necessary.
What are the symptoms of a threatened miscarriage?
When threatened miscarriage occurs, pregnant women often experience vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. However, at this time, the fetal heartbeat and embryo are generally still in good condition, and timely treatment to preserve the pregnancy can be effective. But if the patient experiences a significant amount of bleeding and severe pain, accompanied by backache and a sense of heaviness, it may indicate a threatened miscarriage. It is advised to go to a hospital for an ultrasound examination and to have blood tests to check progesterone levels to determine if treatment to preserve the pregnancy is needed. If, after such treatment, vaginal bleeding stops and abdominal pain disappears, then the pregnancy can typically continue.
Postpartum constipation and bleeding from the anus what's going on?
When constipation occurs after childbirth and there is anal bleeding, it may be due to fissures caused by constipation or hemorrhoids causing blood vessel rupture and bleeding. Postpartum, due to the reduced activity of the mother and the consumption of too refined foods, waste cannot be smoothly expelled, leading to difficulty in defecation due to fecal impaction. During straining, this might cause rupture of the anus or fissures, or lead to hemorrhoids by disrupting local blood circulation. It is advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is serious, and if necessary, treatment to stop the bleeding may be required.
How long after ovarian teratoma surgery can one have sexual intercourse?
After undergoing surgery for an ovarian teratoma, generally, sexual intercourse can resume about a month later. However, the specific timing depends on the patient's recovery. Some women who are physically stronger may recover faster and can have sexual intercourse around a month post-surgery. However, if a female patient is relatively weak, recovery might be slower, and it is advised to wait until full recovery before engaging in sexual intercourse. It is essential to take contraceptive measures during intercourse to avoid pregnancy. After surgery, it is recommended to wait until at least three months post-surgery, when the body has recovered well, before attempting pregnancy. Regular prenatal check-ups should be done after conceiving.
Can a pregnancy test still detect pregnancy if the embryo has stopped developing?
After embryonic arrest, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the body is still relatively high, and it does not immediately drop to normal. Therefore, if a pregnancy test is conducted at this time, it can still test positive. The diagnosis of embryonic arrest needs to be confirmed by an ultrasound examination, which checks the size of the fetus and whether there is a fetal heartbeat and fetal bud, and whether they correspond to the gestational age. If embryonic arrest is confirmed, it is necessary to actively proceed with an abortion, then identify and actively treat the causes of the embryonic arrest, in preparation for the next pregnancy attempt.
Is it normal to have breast pain in the late stages of pregnancy?
In the later stages of pregnancy, it is normal for pregnant women to experience breast pain. This occurs because, in the late stages of pregnancy, levels of estrogen and progesterone increase. Under the combined influence of these hormones, the mammary glands become congested and swollen, further proliferate, and the mammary ducts expand, leading to breast pain. This condition prepares the body for breastfeeding after childbirth. When breast pain occurs, one can use a hot towel to apply heat to the breasts to alleviate the pain. Additionally, it is important to choose comfortable bras daily, avoiding those that are too tight or small, as they can cause compression on the breasts.
How long after ovarian teratoma surgery can one become pregnant?
When suffering from ovarian teratomas, it is necessary to undergo surgical removal as soon as possible. For women with fertility needs, it is generally possible to plan for pregnancy three months after the surgery. Ovarian teratomas are mostly benign, and the body can usually recover quickly after the surgery, approximately 2-3 months later, at which point the ovaries generally resume normal ovulatory function. It is recommended that women undergo regular follow-ups at the hospital after the surgical removal, as there is a possibility of recurrence of teratomas. Moreover, it is advisable to schedule intercourse based on the ovulation status.
Does prostatitis affect pregnancy?
When a man has prostatitis, it can affect the normal chances of a woman becoming pregnant. This is because prostatitis often affects the quality of sperm, leading to conditions such as oligospermia, asthenospermia, and failure of sperm to liquefy. It is advisable to go to the hospital for an examination to determine the specific severity of the condition, and under the guidance of a doctor, medication can be used for treatment. Additionally, it is important to develop good living habits, avoid overwork, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid staying up late. Eating foods rich in zinc can help improve the quality of sperm.
