What should I do if I feel stinging when urinating after childbirth?

Many mothers have a very hard time giving birth. Although they will feel a lot more relaxed after giving birth, many symptoms will follow. Some mothers experience stinging pain when urinating after giving birth. What is going on? So what should we do at this time? Next, I will explain to you what to do if you have stinging pain when urinating after childbirth.

Due to the physiological changes after childbirth, the amount of urine will increase, but urination difficulties often occur. The main reasons are:

1.

If the wife has a long labor, the bladder and urethra will be squeezed for a long time, which will cause edema and congestion of the bladder and urine mucosa, temporary paralysis of the muscles, loss of contraction force and difficulty in urination.

2.

The decreased bladder muscle tone and urination reflex after childbirth cause the wife to have no urge to urinate.

3.

The pressure of the baby being delivered during childbirth can cause redness and swelling of the urethral opening and pain in the perineal wound, making the first urination after delivery painful, so some women are unwilling to urinate forcefully.

Postpartum urination difficulties will lead to an increase in the amount of residual urine in the bladder and urinary retention. Urinary retention causes the bladder to fill up, which will hinder the effective contraction of the uterus, causing uterine atony and leading to postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, new fathers should encourage their wives to urinate on their own as soon as possible after delivery, which can reduce the occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage.

The new father should advise his wife to drink plenty of water after delivery, and to urinate on her own 4 to 6 hours after a normal delivery or 2 hours after the catheter is removed in a cesarean section. If urination is difficult, the new father can:

1.

Massage your wife's lower abdomen;

2.

Apply a warm towel to your wife's bladder area;

3.

Let your wife listen to the sound of running water to induce her urination reflex.

If your wife is still unable to urinate after using these methods, you should contact the doctor or nurse in time.
