How many days is it appropriate to confinement in the confinement center?

People in China are confined to confinement, which is often said to be 30 days from the day of delivery. But in the medical sense, "month" refers to the time required for the reproductive organs to fully recover to the non-pregnant state. Except for breasts, the recovery period takes 42 days. At this time, the uterine lochia has been discharged, the uterus has returned to normal size, vaginal folds have gradually formed, and the internal opening of the cervix has been closed. This is the end of the whole confinement period, so this time period is longer than the folk confinement period.

The confinement period, especially within 2 weeks after delivery, is the most critical period for various metabolic changes. At this time, you will sweat a lot and your body will be particularly weak. Whether it is vaginal delivery or cesarean section, it will hurt a lot. Therefore, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is very important to replenish qi, that is, to have a rest, eat easily digestible food such as millet porridge, give enough protein, and the most important thing is to have a full rest in order to achieve a more comprehensive recovery.
