What methods are applicable to the rehabilitation and repair of the elderly after childbirth?
With the development of society and the improvement of people's education level, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on women's body, which needs to be properly rehabilitated. This article will discuss the rehabilitation methods suitable for the elderly after childbirth from four aspects: physical recovery, psychological adjustment, diet adjustment and exercise.
Physical recovery
The body of the elderly puerpera will experience a greater burden in the process of childbirth. Therefore, attention should be paid to the repair of the body during the recovery period. First of all, you need to rest. Adequate rest can help the body recover. Secondly, some exercises for postpartum functional recovery should be properly carried out, which can be guided by professional rehabilitation institutions. Finally, conduct regular post natal examinations to ensure that the recovery process of the body is in line with normal conditions.
In addition, elderly women also need to pay special attention to the recovery of pelvic floor muscles after childbirth. Postpartum pelvic floor muscles are easy to relax, which has a great impact on the health and quality of life of pregnant women. Through routine postpartum pelvic floor function assessment, combined with the guidance of rehabilitation doctors, the method of pelvic floor muscle exercise can be used for rehabilitation and repair. This exercise includes contraction and relaxation of pelvic floor muscles, which can effectively improve the function of pelvic floor muscles.
Psychological adjustment
Older mothers may face a series of psychological pressures after childbirth, such as anxiety and depression. Therefore, psychological adjustment is also an important part of rehabilitation. First of all, mothers can choose to go to professional psychological counseling institutions for psychological counseling and receive psychological treatment to help release pressure. Secondly, communicate with family and friends, share their feelings and confusion, and get their understanding and support. Finally, actively participate in some suitable recreational activities, such as reading, listening to music, doing crafts, etc., to relax and adjust your mental state.
Diet conditioning
Postpartum diet conditioning is also very important for the rehabilitation of elderly mothers. Maternal needs to maintain a balanced diet and take in enough nutrients. For example, you can eat more protein rich foods, such as eggs, fish, tofu, etc., which will help the recovery and repair of muscles. In addition, it is also necessary to properly increase the intake of vitamins and minerals to maintain intestinal health. In addition, too much greasy and stimulating food should be avoided in the diet so as not to affect the recovery of the body.
Exercise
Proper exercise is very important for the rehabilitation of elderly mothers. First, moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking and jogging, can be carried out to increase the cardiopulmonary function and improve the metabolic capacity of the body. Secondly, some postpartum recovery exercises, such as postpartum yoga and Pilates, can be carried out to help repair abdominal muscles and enhance core strength. Finally, some local muscle exercises can be carried out to restore the muscle strength of the postpartum body.
To sum up, the rehabilitation of the elderly after childbirth should be carried out from four aspects: physical recovery, psychological adjustment, diet adjustment and exercise. Through adequate rest, pelvic floor muscle exercise, psychological consultation, balanced diet and moderate exercise, help the puerpera to recover their physical health and psychological balance, and promote the healthy progress of postpartum recovery.
