Postpartum urinary leakage can be recovered in about three months if the damage to the pelvic floor muscle is mild, while severe cases require surgery, which varies from person to person.
Postpartum urinary leakage is generally related to the development of the fetus during pregnancy, the uterus increases in size, which presses on the pelvic floor muscles and leads to the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles; the process of labor and delivery also causes damage to the pelvic floor function, which can easily lead to post-partum urinary leakage.
There is a golden recovery period for postpartum urinary leakage, generally from 42 days to 6 months after delivery. It is recommended that a pelvic floor muscle assessment and pelvic floor ultrasound can be performed on the 42nd day after delivery to understand the degree of pelvic floor muscle damage, and mild damage resulting in urinary leakage is recommended to recover the pelvic floor muscles and improve the symptoms of urinary leakage by means of Kegel exercises, bioelectrical stimulation, autonomic training, and template training, which generally takes about three months.
If the leakage cannot be improved by the above training, the leakage is considered to be more serious and needs to be treated with surgery under the guidance of a doctor.
Postpartum urinary leakage is a common symptom of postpartum women, which seriously affects their quality of life, and is a manifestation of pelvic floor dysfunction disease. It is recommended to go to the postpartum rehabilitation center of the local hospital in time, to carry out comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, and arrange for surgical treatment if necessary.
