Is Postpartum Rehabilitation Necessary?

Generally, whether postpartum rehabilitation is necessary depends on comprehensive consideration of individual conditions.

If there is no pelvic floor muscle damage, no abdominal hypertrophy, or no leakage of urine during laughing or sneezing after childbirth, postpartum rehabilitation is generally unnecessary. Over time, the body may recover to its original state and generally will not affect normal life.

However, if the degree of postpartum pelvic floor muscle damage is severe, accompanied by the inability to restore the abdomen to its original state, mild leakage of urine during laughing or sneezing, etc., postpartum rehabilitation is necessary. It can avoid the aggravation of physical discomfort symptoms and usually will not affect daily life. Depending on their actual conditions, individuals can choose physical function training, body rehabilitation training, breast rehabilitation training, and other programs to gradually restore their physical state. After childbirth, it is important to maintain good living habits, avoid excessive fatigue, communicate and interact with others more often to prevent postpartum depression. Additionally, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on high-protein foods such as pig's trotter soup and crucian carp soup to promote milk secretion and better breastfeeding for the baby.
