Can a miscarriage be detected through a blood test?
Embryo arrest is primarily diagnosed through ultrasound examination, and blood tests alone cannot fully determine embryo arrest. Pregnant women still need to rely on comprehensive examinations to make a diagnosis. During pregnancy, the levels of progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are continuously rising. If there are factors that cause embryo arrest, these values will no longer increase, or there may be a continuous decline observed during tests. Therefore, embryo arrest must rely on ultrasound examination for accurate diagnosis, supplemented by blood tests to measure hormone levels, using a comprehensive judgment to confirm the condition of embryo arrest.
Can you sit for a long time with postpartum urinary incontinence?
When postpartum urinary incontinence occurs, it is not advisable for the mother to sit for extended periods. This is because urinary incontinence in women is primarily due to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Sitting for long periods is detrimental to the recovery of pelvic floor muscle function. It is recommended that women pay attention to rest, avoid prolonged walking or standing, and also avoid sitting for long periods. Rest is important, as is ensuring adequate sleep and enhancing nutrition by consuming foods rich in protein and vitamins. It is advised to seek early pelvic floor rehabilitation training at a hospital and to adhere to the rehabilitation exercises. Generally, good recovery can be achieved within six months.
Is it useful to take calcium tablets for postpartum hair loss?
Eating calcium tablets is useful for postpartum hair loss. A lack of calcium can also cause hair loss, and calcium tablets can effectively provide the calcium needed by the body. 99% of the calcium in the human body is found in teeth and bones, and if not paid attention to, calcium deficiency is not the main cause of hair loss. Clinically, it is mainly caused by changes in hormone levels in the body and some emotional and psychological factors. Therefore, taking calcium tablets is useful for postpartum hair loss, but it is necessary to identify some related factors causing the hair loss. It's important to maintain a good mood, strengthen nutrition, massage the scalp with a wooden comb, or rhythmically tap the head to promote blood circulation in the scalp.
Does premature birth affect intelligence?
Premature birth generally does not affect a baby's intellectual development, as the brain is mostly well-developed by the time of premature birth, and intelligence is not greatly affected. With appropriate nutrition post-birth, the intelligence of premature babies can generally recover to that of average children. However, if the baby experiences intrauterine hypoxia during premature birth, this can affect the brain cells and may even lead to cerebral palsy. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor the baby's diet and neurological responsiveness if premature birth occurs. If there are concerns, a hospital check-up can be conducted to promptly identify any issues with the child.
Will there be stomach pain during a natural miscarriage?
During a natural miscarriage, abdominal pain occurs due to uterine contractions. This pain is caused by localized ischemia and hypoxia in the uterus and is a common occurrence. During a miscarriage, the uterus needs to continually contract to expel the gestational sac and decidual tissues. However, this pain is generally slightly less severe than the pain experienced during childbirth. After the gestational sac is expelled, the pain usually diminishes. Post-miscarriage, abdominal pain typically persists for two to three days. Once the residual tissues are expelled, the extent of uterine contractions gradually decreases, and the abdominal pain will also ease.
Can I eat mutton for postpartum urinary incontinence?
In cases of postpartum urinary incontinence, it is acceptable for new mothers to consume lamb in moderation. Lamb is highly nutritious, rich in protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. It can enhance the physical immunity of postpartum women and is also helpful in improving postpartum urinary incontinence. When urinary incontinence occurs, it is necessary to first visit a hospital for an examination to assess the severity of the condition and to choose an appropriate treatment method. Generally, mild urinary incontinence can be improved over time with proper care and can return to normal. However, severe urinary incontinence may require surgical treatment. It is important to rest, strengthen nutrition, and ensure adequate sleep.
What should I do about adenomyosis-related anemia?
When suffering from adenomyosis, patients often experience an increase in menstrual flow. Prolonged heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia. At this time, drug treatment should be initiated first. Some medications can be used to stop bleeding, and minimally invasive surgery or interventional treatment can also be considered to remove the affected areas of adenomyosis. In terms of diet, it is important to consume foods rich in protein that aid in blood replenishment. Additionally, an appropriate supplement of vitamin B and vitamin C is necessary, and it's crucial to actively work on blood replenishment to avoid risking the patient's health. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
How long will the symptoms of postpartum depression get better?
The duration of symptoms for postpartum depression can vary from person to person, as each individual experiences different levels of symptoms. Postpartum depression most often occurs within six weeks after childbirth, and generally, symptoms may alleviate on their own within three to six months after giving birth. The onset of postpartum depression is primarily a stress response caused by physiological and psychological factors. With careful attention from family members and proper treatment, recovery is usually swift. However, in severe cases, recovery could take up to six months or even a year, and there is a possibility of relapse during subsequent pregnancies.
Is endometritis prone to recurrence?
Endometritis is prone to recurrence. The occurrence of endometritis is mainly due to a decrease in women's resistance, allowing some bacteria to ascend from the reproductive tract and cause inflammation in the uterine cavity. If the inflammation is not completely cured during the acute phase, or if it turns into chronic cervicitis, and local hygiene is not maintained, along with frequent presence of infection sources, it can easily cause repeated occurrences. It is crucial to actively treat endometritis, especially during the acute phase, where sufficient medication must be administered to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. In cases of chronic endometritis, emphasis should be placed on treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.
Can you take a bath with a threatened miscarriage?
When a threatened miscarriage occurs, it is not advisable to bathe, as the threatened miscarriage could lead to an inevitable miscarriage, so it is essential to undergo treatment to support the pregnancy. At this time, it's crucial to rest in bed as much as possible, only getting up for bathroom needs, and to stay as still as possible. Sexual activity should be prohibited, and it's important to maintain emotional stability and not be overly anxious. Nutritional intake should be adequate, with an emphasis on easily digestible foods and a moderate consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits. If necessary, progesterone can be used under the guidance of a doctor to support the pregnancy. Activities can be resumed once everything stabilizes, and bathing is permissible, but care must be taken to avoid intense physical activities and excessive time spent bathing.
