What to do if the vulva itches during confinement

During the confinement period, the body still has secretions, and lochia needs to be excreted during this period. If you do not pay attention to cleaning, it will lead to vaginal infection and cause many serious problems. Vulvar itching and inflammatory diseases are most likely to occur during the confinement period. Some problems during the confinement period must be strictly controlled, and appropriate methods must be chosen to regulate them.

The effectiveness of painless childbirth is related to factors such as the mother's sensitivity to anesthetic drugs, previous surgical history, the proficiency of the anesthesiologist, the time of anesthesia, and the method of anesthesia. It places high technical requirements on the anesthesiologist, who is on call 24 hours a day. Therefore, currently only a few hospitals can carry out this technology, which can significantly reduce pain almost 100%. Most mothers are completely painless during the medication period, and they can give birth while being able to eat, drink, chat and laugh.

Preventive and therapeutic methods for maternal vulvar itching

1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change menstrual pads frequently and wash them frequently during menstruation.

2. Keep the vulva clean and dry, do not wash it with hot water or scrub it with soap.

3. Avoid misusing or abusing drugs, scratching or local rubbing

5. Do not wear tight crotch pants. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton.

6. See a doctor to check whether there is fungus or trichomonas. If so, seek timely treatment instead of using "anti-itching water" to treat it yourself.

7. If the area is damaged or infected, soak it in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (add a small amount of potassium permanganate powder to warm water to make it light red, not too concentrated) twice a day, each time for 20 to 30 minutes.

Keep clean to prevent vulvitis. To prevent the occurrence of postpartum vulvitis, the vulva skin must be kept clean at all times. It should be wiped clean from front to back with paper after urination and defecation. It is best to rinse the vulva with water after defecation. When the lochia is not clear, sanitary napkins and underwear should be changed frequently. Actively treat to prevent the disease from progressing. After suffering from vulvitis, you should eat light food and avoid spicy and other irritating foods; if you find small red spots on the vulva, you can apply 2% iodine or apply local hot compress; if the condition is serious, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

When acute vulvar inflammation occurs, the local skin of the vulva will become red, swollen, hot and painful. In severe cases, it may also cause fever and swollen lymph nodes. If acute vulvitis is not treated promptly, it will turn into chronic inflammation, causing local skin roughness, vulvar itching, and discomfort in daily life.

I hope everyone will pay attention to the methods of preventing and treating maternal vulvar pruritus, because maternal women belong to a special group. Their health is related to their own and their baby's health. Preventing maternal illness is a big matter for the whole family. I hope the above methods of preventing and treating maternal vulvar pruritus can help everyone.
