Daily care: 1. Pay attention to cleaning lochia. Wash the vulva with warm water every day to keep the vagina clean. When there is a lot of lochia, pay attention to vaginal hygiene. Wash the vulva with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution every day.

For occasional urinary tract infections, drinking plenty of water (2000 ml-3000 ml per day) can basically heal them on their own. For mothers who are prone to urinary tract infections, it is recommended to urinate every 2-3 hours a day.

4. Don’t hold your urine. You should urinate immediately when you feel the urge to urinate. Don’t wait until you can no longer hold it in before urinating. When you urinate, urine will flush away the bacteria in the urethra and vaginal opening, which has a natural cleansing effect and prevents the growth and reproduction of bacteria.
