What to do if you have a natural episiotomy and need to go to the toilet

Many pregnant women choose to give birth naturally when they are pregnant, because this is very helpful to the mother's body and is easy to recover. However, during childbirth, there may be some unexpected situations. Because the baby is relatively old, episiotomy will be used. However, many people also consider many problems after the episiotomy. So what should I do if I have difficulty urinating on the episiotomy wound after choosing a natural birth?

What should I do if I urinate during a natural delivery?

1. First of all, after giving birth naturally, you need to squat down slowly and properly to urinate. Women should never use force when urinating, as it may cause infection if they use too much force. Therefore, it is necessary to slow down appropriately, so as to better promote the healing of the wound.

2. After a woman chooses to give birth naturally, she also needs to have enough sleep. Because a lot of energy is consumed during the delivery process, the body will be very weak after delivery. She should also eat more rich foods, which will be very helpful for pregnant women.

3. After giving birth, the episiotomy wound needs appropriate exercise and a catheter should be inserted to facilitate urination. A toilet can also be used to facilitate defecation and relieve pain. It can also better promote the healing of wounds, which is helpful to the mother's body.

How painful is episiotomy during vaginal delivery?

When mothers think of the episiotomy wound in their private parts, they seem to feel the pain immediately, but in fact, compared with the pain during childbirth, the pain of the episiotomy wound can be basically ignored. In addition, when performing episiotomy, doctors will generally perform local anesthesia in advance. For pregnant women with poor pain tolerance, they can ask the doctor to increase the amount of anesthetic appropriately. Pregnant mothers should be reminded that generally speaking, the pain of episiotomy during normal delivery is mostly reflected in the suture stage after a successful delivery. The pain at this time is more severe than the episiotomy wound itself.
