What to do if you have anal pain after childbirth

Many women experience anal pain after giving birth. Although this situation is rare, it is still quite harmful to women with this symptom. So I want to fully understand what to do if you have anal pain after childbirth. The following content will give many postpartum women who experience this symptom in detail about what to do. You can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Avoid sitting for long periods of time during pregnancy. If possible, do ani exercises frequently, such as continuous rhythmic squatting-standing-squatting movements for 1-2 minutes each time, to promote blood circulation in the anus and prevent congestion.

2. After delivery, pay attention to eating more high-fiber vegetables, fruits and whole grains to keep the stool soft, increase its volume and water content, and promote defecation.

3. Get out of bed as soon as possible after delivery and engage in appropriate activities. In order to prevent feces from staying in the intestines for too long, perform abdominal massage when necessary to stimulate intestinal peristalsis.

4. When constipation occurs, do not force defecation. You can drink some honey water to lubricate the intestines and inject an appropriate amount of enema into the anus to facilitate the smooth discharge of feces to avoid anal fissures.

Anal pain is mostly caused by anal fissures. It is very common for new mothers to have anal fissures within half a month after giving birth, accounting for more than half of them. After pregnancy, the baby gradually grows, eventually causing edema of the tissues around the anus and decreased resistance; coupled with low postpartum activity, slowed gastrointestinal motility, or pain in the perineum wound, which causes the feces to stay in the intestines for too long, and excessive water is reabsorbed, making the feces hard and dry and difficult to excrete. Excessive force during defecation can easily lead to anal fissures, which cause anal pain.

Pain relief: 1. Avoid sitting for long periods of time during pregnancy. If possible, do pelvic floor exercises frequently, that is, do continuous rhythmic squatting-standing-squatting movements for 1-2 minutes each time to promote blood circulation in the anus.

Prevent blood stasis. 2. After delivery, pay attention to eating more high-fiber vegetables, fruits and whole grains to keep the stool soft, larger in volume and more watery.

3. Get out of bed as soon as possible after delivery and do appropriate activities. To prevent the stool from staying in the intestines for too long, perform abdominal massage if necessary.

Stimulate intestinal peristalsis. 4. Do not force defecation when constipation occurs. You can drink some honey water to lubricate the intestines and inject an appropriate amount of enema into the anus to facilitate the smooth discharge of feces to avoid anal fissures.

After fully understanding the above content, I believe that many postpartum women have fully understood the causes of postpartum anal pain and what to do? So after a comprehensive understanding, in order to make this symptom disappear as soon as possible, you can go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and receive treatment as soon as possible so that you no longer have anal pain.
