Even though the birth was easy
– Very important for a woman’s future health how did the birth go There are many factors that matter here, “explains the gynecologist. Was it a Caesarean section or a natural birth? Complicated or not? So, after the natural birth, especially if they recur and the baby is big, may develop pelvic organ prolapse and / or urinary incontinence, as well as swelling of hemorrhoids – e even if the birth took place without complications.
The doctor clarifies that when the fetus passes through the birth canal, the pelvic floor muscles are greatly stretched and ruptures of the perineum and vagina can occur. This mainly concerns the development of further possible health problems for women.
“Shallow gaps of 1 and 2 degrees in the normal course of the postpartum period heal without consequences,” says Nelly Makarova. – Perineal tears of 3 and 4 degrees can significantly reduce the quality of life, lead to gaseous or fecal incontinence.
But don’t think that if a woman gives birth by caesarean sectionwill have no health problems.
– With a caesarean section, even planned, there is a risk of adhesions in the abdominal cavity and in the small pelvis, which can lead to disruption of intestinal motility, which will manifest itself with constipation, bloating, says the doctor. – Also, after a caesarean section, the position of the pelvic organs can change: the ovaries, fallopian tubes, appendix, intestinal loop and sometimes the bladder. And with an emergency caesarean, these risks increase.
Moreover:
-
The presence of a scar on the uterus after caesarean section affects the course of subsequent pregnancies and childbirth.
-
Any childbirth accompanied by bleeding leads to the development of anemia.
