Why do postpartum 'big forgetfulness'?
Why do postpartum 'big forgetfulness'?
In the first two days after giving birth, Ms. Zhu felt dazed, her memory was severely impaired, and she walked unsteadily. Lou Xiaojun, deputy chief physician of obstetrics and gynecology department of Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, diagnosed Zhu's symptoms as short-term loss of postpartum cognitive function. It was the stress before the birth.
According to Lou Xiaojun, some women will have "transient postpartum cognitive function loss" about 5 days after giving birth, which is called "transient postpartum cognitive function loss" in medicine.
Mothers with this condition do not have mental abnormalities before birth, but are caused by excessive mental stress before birth, or pain during childbirth, and disorders of the cerebral cortex.
Poor memory, forgetfulness, reduced computing ability, fatigue, lethargy, trance, answering irrelevant questions, trouble distinguishing simple things, walking unsteadily and other abnormal motor behaviors are all manifestations of short-term loss of cognitive function after childbirth. There is no need to be nervous when this happens to mothers. With enough rest and sleep, illness can heal itself. In severe cases, medications that promote sleep and sedation may be taken. In general, 5 days after delivery, the symptoms will completely disappear.
In order to prevent the short-term loss of postpartum cognitive function, prenatal care measures such as doula during childbirth, family members during childbirth, and prenatal attention to mental and psychological guidance can be taken to relieve the tension of parturients. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the mother has enough rest and a reasonable diet to maintain sufficient physical strength and energy. Third, we can consider painless delivery to reduce the pain of maternity; Appropriately allow postpartum visits to strengthen the communication between pregnant women and the outside world; The mother should be discharged within 5 days, as the home environment is more conducive to the recovery of the mother.
Reminder:
Fu Yujing, deputy chief physician of obstetrics and Gynecology department of Beijing Tongren Hospital, reminds pregnant women not to worry too much, to find out the causes of tension, and slowly adjust their emotions. In addition, ensuring adequate rest and reasonable diet is also important to ensure that pregnant women have sufficient physical strength and energy, and relieve tension. At the same time, pregnant women can also do some of their favorite things to divert attention, such as watching TV, listening to music, reading books or chatting with friends and relatives. You can also communicate with the fetus in the womb to fully prepare yourself for the birth of the baby. In addition, pregnant women insist on doing gymnastics is also a good way. Doing so can not only relieve tension, avoid or reduce back and leg pain, but also help smooth natural delivery.
