Should the abscess on the episiotomy wound be broken?

Wound infection is mainly caused by viruses attacking the human body, resulting in tissue damage and space-occupying lesions, most of which will cause pathogen invasion, so you must pay attention to it in daily life and do corresponding inspections according to your physical condition. If the episiotomy wound produces some pustular secretions, I think it is caused by infection and needs to be cleared with antiviral drugs regularly. So, should the pustules on the episiotomy wound be broken?

There are pustules on the episiotomy wound, which is a wound infection and needs to be treated by a doctor. It is necessary to remove the inflammatory substances inside, open the wound and clean it, expose the fresh small fleshy tissue, and remember to use potassium permanganate solution or iodine cotton balls for disinfection after going to the toilet. The location of the episiotomy is relatively unique, with the urethra opening in the front and the anus in the back, which is very easy to cause bacterial infection. Therefore, after giving birth, pregnant women should pay special attention to keeping the vulva clean and dry, and change sanitary napkins in time. If you lie on your side, you need to lie on the other side of the episiotomy wound to prevent postpartum lochia from flowing into the side wound and causing environmental contamination.

Do not squeeze pustules yourself to avoid aggravating the condition. Pustules are caused by inflammation and infection, and can also be caused by poor hygiene. You can go to the hospital's outpatient surgery or gynecology department for treatment. You can use debridement and disinfection to treat it, and then choose antibiotics for treatment. If there is a lot of pus, you need to do incision and drainage to drain the pus, and then you can choose antibiotics for treatment. You can do a routine blood test and other tests. If there is a bacterial infection, you can use cephalosporin, penicillin and other antibiotics for treatment. Pay attention to hygiene and change the dressings on time.

It is considered that the pustules on the episiotomy wound may be caused by the disharmony between the spleen and stomach caused by the catgut. It is recommended that you go to a reliable Class-A tertiary hospital for a physical examination immediately. If it is catgut that causes spleen and stomach disharmony, you can use sterile medical tweezers to suck out the catgut, and you can take a bath in a basin of water dissolved in potassium permanganate solution. Pay attention to rest and cleanliness, release stress, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
