What should I do if I have anal pain after defecation after childbirth?

For women who have just given birth, it will take more than a month to recover, which is commonly known as "confinement month". During this period, there are many things that need to be paid attention to, including diet and daily life. Some women are easily troubled by constipation during the confinement period, so they experience anal pain after defecation. So what method should be used to treat it?

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.
