Chapter 45 Postpartum Repair, Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Daughter-in-law, you come first. Drink some of this tortoise soup first, and I'll hold the baby."
Wang Meili said as she prepared to hold the child.
When Liu Chen listened to the child's cries, he felt that he was not just hungry, but there must be something else.
Liu Chen walked to Yao Lijuan's side and said, "I'm here to see the child."
Yao Lijuan handed the child to Liu Chen.
After taking the child, Liu Chen looked at the child's little face that was red from crying, his rapid breathing, and his little feet kicking around. This must be urine.
I put the child on the bed with a wet diaper. I asked Yao Lijuan to bring a dry diaper. I saw that the child’s belly was bulging. This was colic caused by flatulence.
Colic is very uncomfortable for children. Colic is also called "intestinal spasm", commonly known as "intestinal cramps". It is a syndrome of functional abnormalities with acute abdominal pain as the main symptom caused by the paroxysmal strong contraction of the smooth muscle of the intestinal wall.
levy.
Liu Chen rubs his hands vigorously, with the baby's belly button as the center, and rubs the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with his palms. This is to promote the baby's intestinal peristalsis, and does this for 1 to 2 minutes at a time.
Liu Chen gently massaged the baby's abdomen downward alternately for another seven or eight times. Liu Chen then curled the baby's legs alternately toward the abdomen, like riding a bicycle. He held the baby's calves again and moved them toward the abdomen.
Perform flexion movements.
After completing a series of actions, the child farted loudly several times and really stopped crying.
Liu Chen picked up the baby. The baby looked at Liu Chen with his eyes open and his mouth kept looking around.
"You can bring the milk powder now."
Yao Lijuan was very happy when she saw that her child really stopped crying. She quickly ran into the house to make milk powder for her child.
Hand the bottle to Liu Chen, put the bottle in the baby's mouth, and the baby sucks it up.
"Gudugudu", I heard the sound of the baby swallowing milk powder.
"Drink, drink."
Seeing the baby drinking milk powder in big gulps made everyone laugh.
When the child was full, Wang Meili took it and fell asleep after a while.
Putting the baby on the bed, he walked out with a smile and gave Liu Chen a thumbs up.
"Have a meal."
Today I made fried vegetables, shredded pork with green pepper, braised eggplant, tortilla soup, as well as corn flour steamed buns and white flour steamed buns.
Gu Quan brought the wine for Liu Chen to drink. He originally wanted to drink it, but he had to go to work at night, so he didn't dare to drink it.
It was boring for Liu Chen to drink alone, so he didn't drink either.
After having enough water and food, Wang Meili asked Liu Chen to start treating his daughter-in-law.
At first, Yao Lijuan was really embarrassed, but after all, her back pain and urinary leakage were bothering her, so she could only reluctantly agree.
Especially when it comes to urinary leakage, as long as I talk loudly or cough loudly, urine will come out, and I can't control it at all.
My pants were all wet and I was extremely embarrassed.
Liu Chen asked Yao Lijuan to lie flat on the bed. He stretched out three fingers and placed them in the middle of Yao Lijuan's belly button. He asked Yao Wanjun to look up again and saw that three fingers were directly sunk in. Liu Chen stretched out four more fingers and they were still sunk in. Again.
Place four fingers above and below your belly button.
"Your rectus abdominis is four fingers apart."
Liu Chen looked at Yao Wanjuan's pelvis again.
Severe pelvic tilt, long and short legs, and high and low shoulders. These are all causes of pelvic floor muscle relaxation, which is the cause of urinary leakage.
"Liu Chen, what is diastasis recti? What is pelvic tilt?"
Diastasis of the rectus abdominis means that during pregnancy, the size of the fetus continues to increase, which puts pressure on the internal organs, causing squeezing to the outside and the front of the belly, so that the area becomes very large. Diastasis of the rectus abdominis is too large.
, will lead to visceral ptosis, loose belly, uterine ptosis, and urine leakage.
Pelvic tilt means that the baby becomes larger and presses, and there is also pelvic asymmetry caused by childbirth.
Anyway, even though Liu Chen tried his best to explain, everyone was still confused.
"I will set your bones now."
Yao Lijuan lay down, and Liu Chen held Yao Lijuan's ankle with one hand and her knee with the other. He turned it clockwise 5 times and counterclockwise 5 times.
Then he asked Yao Lijuan to lie down on her side, grabbed her pelvis and pressed down on the joints.
Then let her lie down and push down. Then let her lie down flat. Use one hand on the ankle and the other on the knee joint to pull it flat.
Then switch to another leg.
Another time I saw Liu Chen observing Yao Lijuan’s lowered shoulders, and first moved the lowered arm fascia.
Put one hand on Yao Lijuan's shoulder armor, turn both hands to lift it up, and bring it to the same level as the other shoulder.
Then he asked Yao Lijuan to lie down, and looked at which foot was shorter, moved the joint of the shorter foot, and pressed down three times. Liu Chen used the heel of his palm to push the acupoint, and then pulled the foot back with both hands to stretch the ligaments.
.
After completing a series of movements, Yao Lijuan was asked to lie down, and she saw that her pelvis was indeed symmetrical.
When the pelvis is symmetrical, the feet are aligned and the shoulders are even.
"Look, the pelvis has been corrected now."
"Yes, it's really magical. Just write it down like this. It's really amazing."
"Next I will start doing diastasis rectus abdominis recovery."
Yao Lijuan was still lying on her back. Liu Chen went to the kitchen and brought vegetable oil. He brought a basin of water, poured some boiling water and turned it into warm water. He dropped the vegetable oil into the basin, and then poured the water with oily flowers into it.
She applied it to Yao Lijuan's belly with her hands. This was to provide lubrication when she would do the manipulation.
With his abdomen exposed, Liu Chen pushed up along Yao Lijuan's pulse. This was to close the rectus abdominis. He did 30 times in the upper, middle and lower directions. Then he changed the side and continued. He rotated clockwise and counterclockwise on the abdomen and massaged it again.
Yao Lijuan did standing abdominal tightening, platform support, abdominal breathing, glute bridge exercises, etc.
After a series of movements, Yao Lijuan's rectus abdominis muscles were closed. After another measurement, she could still put a finger in, which meant she had reached the standard.
"Wow, it's really amazing. My belly is obviously much smaller."
Yao Lijuan stood up and saw her belly and said with a smile.
In fact, this is nothing at all. In later generations, it will just be postpartum rectus abdominis recovery and pelvic correction.
In 2022, many women will choose to do postpartum recovery after giving birth, firstly to better restore their figure, and secondly to not leave opportunities for confinement diseases.
In 1979, not to mention postpartum recovery, even confinement period was very rare. Some women went to work in the fields a few days after giving birth. If they didn’t eat well, the confinement period was not done well, and they would not be able to complete the confinement period until they were old.
It's a case of confinement disease.
"My back doesn't hurt now, right?"
Stand up and walk around twice.
Yao Lijuan touched her waist and felt that her hips were obviously much smaller and her belly was also smaller. The most important thing is that her waist no longer hurts at all.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt anymore."
Yao Lijuan jumped up again and jumped twice, haha, okay, she really stopped leaking urine.
But she didn't say this out loud, feeling a little embarrassed.
"How do you regulate that qi and blood manually?"
Gu Quan is also an intellectual, and he is relatively open-minded. If it were someone else who wouldn't want to do this, he would not be willing to let a man give his wife a massage even if it meant that his wife would have back pain for the rest of her life. That would be straightforward.
of contact with skin.
Yao Lijuan lay on the bed again, with her back exposed. She hid her face on the bed in embarrassment.
Wang Meili is also an open-minded mother-in-law. She loves her daughter-in-law. She knows that women go through these pains, and she understands it deeply. She is willing to let Liu Chen cure her daughter-in-law. If it were another unenlightened family,
I'll definitely beat you to the point where you're all over the place.
Liu Chen once again applied water mixed with vegetable oil on Yao Lijuan's back. Smooth it all over. This step was to spread the oil.
Then Liu Chen began to push the Du channel on the back of Yao Lijuan. He pushed down from the shoulders and pushed for about ten times. He also pushed on the bladder meridian and pushed for about ten times.
After pushing, push the shoulder blades again, this time pushing backwards, in the opposite direction to the previous one. Then push the big ribs with both hands at the same time, then push the Qi and blood with both hands at the same time, and finally drain them out. Then push the Du Meridian to the Yamen. Finally,
Rub the entire back to warm it up.
After everything was done, Liu Chen was sweating profusely.
Gu Wanjun brought a towel to wipe Liu Chen's sweat, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."
At this time, Yao Lijuan also came out, and her face was obviously colored. She felt that her breathing was smoother, and her hands and feet were warmer. Her tired spirit was now full of life.
As the saying goes, "With enough Qi and blood, all diseases can be cured." When Qi and blood are well regulated, milk will naturally be more abundant.
"It's so amazing. Lijuan's face has obviously improved a lot and has a brighter complexion."
Wang Meili looked at her daughter-in-law. If she hadn't seen this with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it. This was so amazing. She didn't take any medicine or get an injection. She just used this technique to treat these symptoms.
Cured.
Gu Quan took Liu Chen's hand and was really grateful. He nodded and said "thank you".
At this time, Yao Lijuan felt that her breasts were swollen, which was obviously due to the arrival of milk. She had never felt so swollen in more than forty days. Liu Chen's technique was really good.
"Wow wow..."
At this time, the baby wakes up and is ready for feeding.
Liu Chen said goodbye to everyone and left, and Gu Wanjun saw Liu Chen off.
