Why Western woman giving birth without confinement, Chinese women must confinement?

Women after childbirth, the body will occur in all respects a series of dramatic changes, various endocrine hormone levels change, the uterus shrinks and gradually recovered to its pre-pregnancy size and shape, a variety of wound will gradually heal, and this process It takes about six weeks or so experienced, that is, modern medicine postpartum recovery time needed. If the "confinement" is the attention to environmental temperature and humidity, rest better nutrition, then there is no problem, you can in fact traditional "confinement" There are a lot of strange taboos such as: must stay in bed, you can not brush your teeth, you can not wash your hair, can not see the wind, you can not eat the fruit, and so cool. These "taboo" is entirely a product of cultural habits, a hundred harm.

So long as the attention to rest and personal hygiene, proper nutrition can be.

Incidentally, most of miscarriage tradition also Bluff.

It seems necessary to add that these "taboo" is the ancient principle of the right things happen in the case do not understand some of the superficial experience and practice. If you can not wash your hair, you can not see the wind is warm conditions because of lack of fear of pregnant women in ancient times cold, and now do not need to worry about; not bathe because prone to infection and cold bath, shower is no problem; can not brush your teeth is because most old people do not pay attention to oral hygiene, a lot of people suffering from chronic gingivitis. Because estrogen during pregnancy telangiectasia effect, will make the original gum inflammation, swelling and even the formation of gingival gingival tumor-like change, bleed easily when brushing your teeth. However, inflammation and bleeding not because brushing causes, but the original gingival inflammation worsens, more should pay attention to oral hygiene. The amount of missing limbs bedridden makes the games increased risk of venous thrombosis, and so on.

Some people say do not say I did not had a baby, not to mention you this beat and shot dead all obstetrics male doctor, who prescribes discuss the problem must be personally experienced? According to this logic, you are not in this life we ​​can not discuss the historical problem?

 Know almost users, obstetrician:

Before answering this question, you must first find out in the end what is the "confinement."

In fact, the ancient Chinese people confinement for women to do some ceremonial restrictions. Women greatest mystery is that she can nurture life, so in patriarchal ancient China, the woman had children certainly do a lot of requirements. So, you know the first confinement, it should be in the "Book of Rites", rather than what medical books, it even provides for different levels of life to a child, would be bound by etiquette are not the same. That you a civilian village women have a baby, no qualifications to sit nobles month of ladies.

Of course, with the development of Chinese medicine in these provisions on the basis of extended and some health-related provisions, and gradually formed what is now called confinement. Front said, confinement is actually a ceremonial restrictions, so in the development process rubbed into a lot of local customs, then to the present, the so-called confinement also a wide variety of requirements. So, lz question is in fact still a little problematic because confinement to mention cultural factors can not be brushed aside. However, since lz ask, but from a medical point then try to answer it.

Westerners in the end do not sit confinement? If you follow this ceremonial Chinese limits to count, then it is certainly not Westerners confinement; however, but from the medical point of view it if Westerners actually have to "confinement", the confinement Son refers puerperium recovery.

We know for a pregnant women, throughout pregnancy nine months time, various body systems have undergone great changes (not just the reproductive system of the uterus as a bigger). The so-called pregnant woman one day delivery, gestational process is long, but relatively very short delivery process, then the placenta after delivery, you need a relatively long time to make the various body systems are restored to their pre-pregnancy state, this time is puerperium, generally considered to be about six weeks. Therefore, the general Western women also need to follow-up 6 weeks postpartum to observe puerperal recovery, especially for women with obstetric complications, but should be followed up.

That Western women postpartum pay attention to what? They apparently did a lot of confinement taboos, but still some life considerations. For example, pay attention to rest, began to pay attention to small meals a period of time, high-protein diet, try breastfeeding, pay attention to the vulva clean and lochia, regulate mood and so on.

Then we have no medical basis for confinement it? First of all, in front of me said, because the development process elements rubbed into a lot of places, so confinement customs are changing, each have their own argument. I know that picking up a representative said two.

To the door closed, not ventilation. This is wrong. Because pregnant women before pregnancy, blood volume increases, the process returns to normal after delivery, the body a lot of drainage, one way is to sweat, which is called mattress sweat. So, some people speculated that the ancient people are afraid to sweat more than the wind will catch cold, and if induced puerperal infection, then the consequences are more serious. In fact, ancient people did not think so much, they are a kind of ceremonial restrictions because lowly status of women, so can not see people giving birth naturally to the door closed. In fact, this is very bad, especially in the summer, prone to postpartum heatstroke, but after sweating dry, it will not be so easy to catch cold.

Confinement can not wash your hair. There is no medical basis, I could not guess how people are racking our brains previously thought out. Puerperium pay attention to clean, wash the shower can be, not to mention shampoo.

Jichi cold. No basis. Pregnancy because of the influence by the enlarged uterus, and progesterone inhibition of smooth muscle, gastrointestinal motility is suppressed, so the post-partum period is best small meals and eat easily digestible food, this is justified. As for the cold Well, if a person digestive system is not good, if not puerperium nor should eat cold.
Month of disease. To be honest, I do not know what diseases are among the "month of disease." For women, pregnancy is significant, the entire process of childbirth postpartum, body systems completed a restart, some of dysmenorrhea, giving birth without pain; somewhat irregular menstruation, menstrual giving birth rules, which are there is a scientific basis. As for the month of falling sick will take a lifetime, this argument is rather strange. No matter what time get the disease, if not up to current medical standards can not be cured, it is a lifetime thing, what is the relationship with the month of? Like I said in front, postpartum postpartum care should do, or it may be appropriate disease, but there is nothing strange statistical sample of what proved wrong because there is no accordance with the rules "confinement" derived.

To sum up: the confinement of women is actually an ancient human bondage, as long as directed by your doctor for a good postpartum care, no need to care about those racking our brains to think out of the roads Leverage.
