It is beneficial to undergo pelvic rehabilitation after childbirth. You can engage in rehabilitation exercises or receive physical therapy for the pelvic floor muscles, which helps prevent future issues such as frequent urination and vaginal laxity. Pelvic rehabilitation should be performed at a large, well-equipped hospital. In daily life, practice more Kegel exercises, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. After delivery, it's best to have regular ultrasounds to monitor uterine recovery. If the uterus is recovering slowly, traditional Chinese medicine调理 (regulation/treatment) may be considered under a doctor's guidance.
