Many women who give birth naturally need to have an episiotomy for various reasons. The wound from the episiotomy is difficult to recover, and everyone needs to recover slowly after delivery. But during the recovery process, do you know how to take care of yourself? The following article will introduce young women to methods of postpartum episiotomy wound care. After the episiotomy, the mother needs to pay attention to her daily life and eating habits. Of course, there will be clinical manifestations. In order to allow the mother's episiotomy wound to recover quickly without any sequelae, postoperative care must be focused on. The mother's episiotomy wound needs more attention, which is often manifested as 2-3 days after delivery. The wound will be red, swollen, hot, painful and have inflammation symptoms, and may have nodules. When squeezed, there will be purulent secretions. In this case, appropriate antibiotics should be taken and the sutures should be removed to allow the pus to flow out. If the episiotomy wound tissue is fresh and the rupture time is short, a second suture can be performed immediately after proper disinfection. The stitches will be removed after 5 days, and most of them will grow back, so mothers don't need to worry too much. However, women also need to understand that women who have undergone episiotomy should not walk too much or do exercises that require too much movement. When going to the bathroom, you also need to pay attention to your posture and clean up. Although it is troublesome for women, it is very important. The above is about the care of episiotomy wounds. In life, female friends who have just given birth should pay attention to preventing bacterial infection. Endocrine secretions will increase after giving birth. Everyone should use specific potassium permanganate and take sitz baths to prevent wound infection and bacterial infection. |
