Pain after a week of vaginal delivery

Natural childbirth is the most common way of delivery for the human body, because it causes less trouble to pregnant women than caesarean section. However, some women may also experience many adverse effects during natural childbirth. It is a common situation that the pain in the lower part of the body occurs one week after a normal birth. In the face of this situation, people need to pay special attention to it. The following is a detailed introduction to the pain in the lower part of the body one week after a normal birth.

If the vulva is still swollen and painful one week after a normal delivery, it is considered that there is infection of the vulva and vagina. You can use Sophora flavescens lotion to clean the vulva. If you are breastfeeding, you can take amoxicillin capsules orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. The vulva can be treated with potassium permanganate water for a sitz bath, and the lochia should be carefully observed.

Conditions required for a normal birth:

1. The fetal position is correct. Children with correct fetal position are more likely to have a normal birth.

2. The expectant mother has a large pelvis and exercises regularly.

3. The size and weight of the fetus are appropriate.

4. The expectant mother has good physical fitness.

5. Replenish energy and strength during the production process.

6. Sufficient amniotic fluid can prevent the baby from lack of oxygen.

Principles of confinement for normal childbirth:

1. Keep warm and avoid catching cold

During the confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. The indoor temperature is 25-26℃, and the humidity is 50%-60%. Pay special attention not to blow air directly into the air conditioner. In addition, avoid contact with cold water during the confinement period. In late autumn, add clothes in time and try to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. If you catch a cold during the confinement period, it will affect the mother's physical recovery and make her prone to rheumatism and other postpartum diseases.

2. Combine work and rest

In the early days after delivery, when the mother feels weak, dizzy, and fatigued, she must stay in bed and rest more. The time she gets up should not exceed half an hour. As her strength gradually recovers, the time can be slightly extended, but it should be limited to 1-2 hours. At the same time, you should avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time during the confinement period, which will cause waist pain, back pain, leg pain, and pain in the knees and ankles.

3. Keep clean

Keep your body clean to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation. Right after giving birth, women have a lot of secretions from their private parts. They should pay attention to washing the vulva with warm water every day to ensure that the vulva is clean and hygienic, and keep the vulva dry to avoid infection. If there is a wound, it should be carefully cared for to avoid cracking and inflammation.

4. Adjust your diet

Taboo foods after normal delivery include: leeks, peppers, barley products, acidic foods, etc. These are foods that can cause milk to dry up. During the confinement period, you should eat more fruits and vegetables every day to help your body recover quickly.
