Popular knowledge about unprotected perineal delivery techniques

Unprotected perineal delivery, also known as natural childbirth, is closer to nature than interventional delivery methods such as caesarean section or forceps, and helps promote the recovery of the mother and the health of the baby. In the unprotected perineal delivery technique, the key is to keep the mother relaxed and focused. With preparation and professional management, the unprotected perineal delivery technique can be achieved under the best circumstances. The following are some popular science tips to help you better understand the unprotected perineal delivery technique.

1. Definition of unprotected perineal delivery technique

Unprotected perineal delivery refers to a method of delivery without episiotomy. Traditional episiotomy is to expand the birth canal to allow the fetus to pass smoothly and reduce the area of ​​​​the tear wound, which helps to recover quickly. However, unprotected perineal delivery is to complete the delivery smoothly without episiotomy.

2. Advantages of unprotected perineal delivery technology

1. Reduce the rate of episiotomy: Unprotected perineal delivery technology can reduce damage to the perineum and reduce the incidence of episiotomy. Episiotomy is a common obstetric surgery used to enlarge the vaginal opening to facilitate smooth delivery of the fetus. However, episiotomy may cause complications such as infection, bleeding, and pain.

2. Reduce delivery complications: Unprotected perineal delivery technology helps reduce possible complications during delivery, such as birth trauma, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia, etc.

3. Promote postpartum recovery: Since the unprotected perineal delivery technique reduces damage to the perineum, it helps mothers recover faster after delivery.

4. Improve delivery comfort: Compared with traditional protected perineal delivery techniques, unprotected perineal delivery techniques can reduce pain during delivery and improve the comfort of the mother.

5. Reduce the cesarean section rate: Unprotected perineal delivery technology helps to reduce the cesarean section rate. Cesarean section is a surgical delivery method. Compared with natural delivery, cesarean section may increase complications such as maternal bleeding, infection, and anesthesia risks.

3. Precautions for unprotected perineal delivery technique

1. Doctor's evaluation: Before deciding to use the unprotected perineal delivery technique, the doctor needs to evaluate the birth canal of the mother. Because not everyone is suitable for this technique, in some cases other methods may be needed to ensure the safety of delivery.

2. Risks and effects: The risks of unprotected perineal delivery technology are lower than those of traditional surgery. It can reduce the time and discomfort of wound healing, but it cannot completely eliminate the complications and pain that may occur during the healing process.

3. Recovery and care: One of the advantages of unprotected perineal delivery technology is that it reduces the pain and discomfort caused by the depression of the perineal incision. However, postpartum care and recovery are still very important, including correct wound cleaning, appropriate lifestyle and eating habits, etc.

In short, unprotected perineal delivery technology is a method of delivery that is worth exploring and understanding. Expectant mothers can better cope with the delivery process and achieve a natural and smooth delivery by learning and preparing, maintaining a good lifestyle and choosing a suitable delivery environment. However, it should be noted that everyone's situation is different, so before deciding to use unprotected perineal delivery technology, be sure to have a detailed consultation and evaluation with medical staff. Only under the guidance of professionals can the safety of mother and baby be ensured. (Duan Caixia, Renqiu People's Hospital)
