Fight against locks after the delivery

After childbirth, at last behind, and young mother can devote wholly the life to troublesome, but very pleasant care of the kid. But rather often the woman has some problems with health at this time. Some unpleasant phenomena which took place during pregnancy smoothly "flow" also in puerperal weeks, forcing the woman to feel considerable discomfort. It is about puerperal locks which are shown approximately at a third of young mothers.

In spite of the fact that the uterus pressure upon intestines is not observed any more, manifestation of disturbances of work of intestines is provoked by other problems. In particular, at the woman of a muscle of an abdominal cavity who just gave birth to the kid very sluggish, patrimonial ways injured in the course of appearance of the baby on light not completely began to live. Besides many the woman after the birth of the child suffer from one trouble – puerperal hemorrhoids that, in turn, aggravates a situation with locks. Besides, very often locks after the delivery disturb those women who transferred Cesarean section.

Types and stages of locks

The lock is an effect of disturbance in the course of education and the subsequent advance on intestines a calla. At development of a lock there is a stagnation of waste of digestion in intestines or in a rectum. It is accepted to distinguish several types of locks according to an etio-pathogenetic sign. Alimentary locks are shown if the person breaks a feeding schedule, it has a defective diet or he uses not enough liquid. At diskinetichesky locks motility of a large intestine is broken, and, such locks can be hypotonic, hypertensive, spastic. If at the patient the organic lock takes place, then various defects and tumors of a spinal cord, and also existence of hems and other educations in an anus and in an anorectal zone become its reason.

Conditioned-reflex locks are shown on condition of continuous suppression of desires on defecation, at stressful situations, and also in case of existence of the neuropsychogenic reasons. This type of locks sometimes develops at patients with rectal cracks and paraproctites. Locks of intoksikatsionny type are shown in a case by intoxications poisons or medicines.

From the point of view of a clinical picture there are three stages of locks. At the compensated stage the act of defecation happens in 2-3 days, and at the same time the patient feels that intestines were emptied not completely. About a half of patients suffers from a meteorism and an abdominal pain. At the subcompensated stage the chair is late from 3 to 5 days. At the same time defecation happens only after acceptance of purgatives or an enema. The meteorism is in most cases shown, the abdominal pain disturbs, at defecation of people feels morbidity.

Lack of a chair on 10 and is characteristic more than a day of a dekompensirovanny stage of a lock. The act of defecation happens only after hypertensive or siphon enemas. The patient has symptoms of fecal intoxication, and in the course of a palpation in a stomach "fecal stones" are found.

The reasons of locks in a puerperal period

There are several reasons defining manifestation of locks after the delivery. First of all, very sharp difference of a hormonal background which happens after the delivery can influence changes in work of intestines. At the birth of the kid at the woman stretch and prelum abdominale muscles, and also crotches are strongly weakened.

In the first days after the delivery on intestines the uterus which is still rather increased continues to press. To the normal size a uterus to return only 6-8 weeks later. At the same time intestines also stay "in the movement": it is gradually displaced in usual situation after moved in the course of incubation of the child. In a puerperal period at the woman the intestines peristaltics is very often broken, and fecal masses moves more slowly.

Women who transferred difficult delivery or Cesarean section on a body have just put stitches. Because of their morbidity, and also fear that seams after operation or an epiziotomiya will disperse, young mother cannot natuzhitsya to such an extent to adjust a chair. As not less problematic phenomenon it is possible to consider hemorrhoids, the morbidity arising at which it becomes frequent a barrier to establishing normal defecation after the delivery.

Locks after the delivery quite often arise and as an effect of the wrong approach to food of the nursing mother. As not less important factor it is necessary to consider also the constant psychological tension which is connected with new efforts and cares. Besides, congenital anomalies of intestines can be the cause of puerperal locks.

Having bungled features after the delivery

At women in puerperal weeks diskinetichesky locks of different types mainly develop. If mother who just gave birth to the kid is disturbed by an atonic lock, then in this case there is a decrease in a tone of a muscular wall of intestines. As a result a physical activity of intestines gradually is slowed down, becomes sluggish. Generally atonic locks are after the delivery characteristic of women who gave birth to the kid by means of Cesarean section. Intestines quite so react to almost any surgery made in an abdominal cavity. Some errors in food also provoke atonic locks at just given rise women.

Spastic locks after the delivery arise on condition of increase of a tone of intestines. As a result, the gut is clamped, and activity of intestines becomes unproductive. This type of a lock at young mothers mainly arises as an effect of psychological factors.

Characteristic symptoms at an atonic lock are abdominal pains which have the pulling character. Overflow of intestines, high level of gas generation is also constantly felt. Young mother can complain of appetite loss, periodic nausea, feeling of slackness and apathy. At defecation there is plentiful, initially dense and firm fecal masses, morbidity is felt. If in process there are cracks, then the kcal can leave with bloody streaks or with slime.

Symptoms of a spastic lock are shown by pristupoobrazny pain, and, pain most often arises at the left. The patient is disturbed by continuous manifestations of a meteorism, she has no appetite, nausea periodically disturbs. The woman becomes irritable. Desires on defecation arise not once in day, but at the same time intestines are emptied not completely.

Are shown at recently given rise women and the locks arising as an effect of lengthening of a large intestine. Such lock – an effect of too long passing a calla on the extended intestines. Fecal masses at the same time very firm, and symptoms is similar to signs of a spastic lock.
