🤰The pressure of a passing through the birth ca**l can bruise, dislocate, or even fracture your tailbone. Fractures aren't common, but some women actually hear a crack or pop when their breaks.

🦴You're more likely to injure your tailbone during delivery if your baby is very large or in an odd position, or if your pelvis is very narrow or oddly shaped.

📢 Topic of the week: 📢

❓What causes ?

💦One of the most common due to pregnancy- and delivery-weakened muscles around the bladder and , is urinary incontinence.

That´s when you have a harder time controlling your flow because the muscles have taken a licking and, consequently, keep on dripping. 🧻

🤰As your uterus shrinks in the weeks following
delivery, it sits directly on the bladder, compressing it and making it more difficult to stem the tide. Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can also batter your bladder.

📌Contributing factors: the bladder and pelvis
muscles are weakened during . In addition, the uterus will begin to shrink back to its normal size, which causes repeated compressions on the bladder.
Rapid changes in hormones also need to be considered as the body attempts to balance its female s*x hormones after a child is born. Also factors as increased age or underlying health issues tied to weight can increase risk of incontinence.

All together, these influential factors lead women to
face a much higher risk for urinary incontinence. The good news is that most women can recover with the proper precautions and effective treatment.✨

⭐ tips:

- Reduce or completely give up caffeine, carbonated drinks, and alcohol. These beverages, along with spicy foods can cause the bladder to contract much more than what is necessary. ☕️

- If suffering from excessive overweight, losing some weight will ease the pressure on your bladder and pelvic floor.🏃🏼‍♀️

- Stop smoking if you haven’t done so already.
Ni****ne causes the muscles of the bladder to spasm, and persistent smoking often leads to a chronic cough that encourages bladder leakage.🚬

- Don’t stop drinking water thinking that it will reduce your urge or need to urinate. You may only end up dehydrated or with a urinary tract infection.🧊

09/11/2020

📢Topic of the week:
✨

🤰For va**nal childbirth to occur, the baby must be able to fit past the pelvic muscles and connective tissue. There is usually some amount of stretching or tearing that allows this to happen.

🩺Vaginal tearing occur when the baby's head is coming through the va**nal opening and is either too large for the va**na to stretch around or the head is a normal size but the va**na doesn't stretch easily.

🤱Up to 90% of first-time mothers, have some tears (also called lacerations) of the va**na or perineum. These tears are classified into 4 categories by the depth of tissue involved:

- 1st-degree tears involve only the skin of the va**na or perineum; these tears often do not need stitches, heal quickly, and usually have no lasting consequences.

- 2nd-degree tears involve the skin and the layer of tissue under the skin; when an episiotomy (surgical incision to relieve the birthprocedjure) is performed, it is usually intended to be second-degree.

- 3rd-degree tears involve the skin, tissue under the skin, and the muscles of the a**l sphincter.

- 4th-degree tears involve all the same layers as a third-degree tear plus the re**al lining.

⚠️The most cruitial moment to repair the surgically is right after the delivery, and a lack of awareness in the medical profession means that up to 40% of serious injuries are missed, according to The MASIC Foundation.

📢Topic of the week: ***lIncontinence

What can I do?🔍

❗️Always see your gynecologist/clinician when suffering from f***l incontinence for medical advice. You may be eligible for surgery.

🩺Once the sphincter muscles have been damaged, surgery may be able to repair the separation but may not restore normal function to the muscles. More complex surgery to construct new sphincter muscles or to create an artificial a**l sphincter is sometimes effective.
If incontinence persists, let your clinician know. There are a number of non-surgical approaches to help you as well.🙏

✨It is hard to cure , but managing it can change your life:

- Reduce constipation and get expert advice on diet, eat more high-fiber foods and drink plenty of fluids.
- Increase your exercise.
- Avoid straining. Straining during bowel movements can eventually weaken a**l sphincter muscles or damage nerves, possibly leading to f***l incontinence.
- A**l irrigation, medicine and neuromodulation (electrical stimulation of the affected nerves) are also available through medical care.
- Physiotherapy
- Mental care, see a therapist to relief your stress around the condition. It´s equally important as treating the physical damage.
- Download the app “Flush - Toilet Finder” with public restrooms around the world.

💜Remember that:
- It’s common and doctors are used to seeing people with it🩺
- It’s not something you have to put up with
- It probably won't get better on its own
- It can be treated🩺
- It’s not something to be ashamed of

Topic of the week: ***lIncontinence 💜
- Another week, another topic -

❓What is F***l Incontinence?
Inability to control , causing stool (f***s) to leak unexpectedly from the re**um. Also called , it ranges from an occasional leakage of stool while passing gas to a complete loss of bowel control.🔍

💜Causes:
Common causes of f***l incontinence include diarrhea, constipation, and muscle or nerve damage. The muscle or nerve damage may be associated with aging or due to .

✨Muscle damage: Injury to the rings of muscle at the end of the re**um (a**l sphincter) may make it difficult to hold stool back properly. This kind of damage can occur during childbirth, especially if you have an episiotomy or forceps are used during delivery.

✨Nerve damage: Injury to the nerves that sense stool in the re**um or those that control the a**l sphincter can lead to f***l incontinence. The nerve damage can be caused by childbirth, constant straining during bowel movements, spinal cord injury or stroke.

- Chronic Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Loss of storage capacity in the re**um

- Surgery involving the re**um and a**s, can cause muscle and nerve damage that leads to f***l incontinence.

- Re**al prolapse: the re**um drops down into the a**s. In women, f***l incontinence can occur if the re**um protrudes through the va**na.

💜Risk factors:
A number of factors may increase your risk, including:

- Age: can occur at any age, but more common over 65.
- 🚺Being female: can be a complication of .
- Nerve damage.
- Dementia.
- Physical disability.

📢Topic of the week: Post Partum Depression

Here it comes, the golden ticket question:
What can I do?🔍

✨Prevention:
If you have a history of depression, tell your doctor as soon as you find out you're pregnant.

- During pregnancy, your doctor can monitor you for signs of depression & you may complete a depression-screening questionnaire during your pregnancy and after delivery. Sometimes can be managed with support groups, counseling or other therapies. In other cases, antidepressants may be recommended.

- After your baby is born, your doctor may recommend an early postpartum checkup to screen for signs of postpartum depression. The earlier it's detected, the earlier treatment can begin. If you have a history of postpartum depression, your doctor may recommend antidepressant treatment or psychotherapy immediately after delivery.

✨Treatment:
Treatment and recovery time vary, depending on the severity of your depression and your individual needs. If you have an underactive thyroid or an underlying illness, your doctor may treat those conditions or refer you to the appropriate specialist. Your doctor may also refer you to a mental health professional.

💕The baby blues usually fade on their own within a few days to one to two weeks. In the meantime:
- Get as much rest as you can.
- Accept help from family and friends.
- Connect with other new moms.
- Create time to take care of yourself.
- Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs, which can make mood swings worse.

💕Postpartum depression is often treated with psychotherapy (also called talk therapy or mental health counseling), medication or both.

▶️Psychotherapy: It may help to talk through your concerns with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional. Through therapy, you can find better ways to cope with your feelings, solve problems, set realistic goals and respond to situations in a positive way. Sometimes family or relationship therapy also helps.

▶️Antidepressants. Your doctor may recommend an antidepressant. If you're breast-feeding, any medication you take will enter your breast milk. However, most antidepressants can be used during breast-feeding with little risk of side effects for your baby. Work with your doctor to weigh the potential risks and benefits of specific antidepressants.

With appropriate treatment, postpartum depression symptoms usually improve. In some cases, postpartum depression can continue, becoming chronic depression. It's important to continue treatment after you begin to feel better. Stopping treatment too early may lead to a relapse.

💕Postpartum psychosis requires immediate treatment, usually in the hospital.
Treatment may include:

▶️Medication. Treatment may require a combination of medications — such as antipsychotic medications, mood stabilizers and benzodiazepines — to control your signs and symptoms.

▶️Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). If your postpartum depression is severe and you experience postpartum psychosis, ECT may be recommended if symptoms do not respond to medication. ECT is a procedure in which small electrical currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can reduce the symptoms of psychosis and depression, especially when other treatments have been unsuccessful.

Treatment for postpartum psychosis can challenge a mother's ability to breast-feed. Separation from the baby makes breast-feeding difficult, and some medications used to treat postpartum psychosis aren't recommended for women who are breast-feeding. If you're experiencing postpartum psychosis, your doctor can help you work through these challenges.
