I still feel pain after a month of vaginal tearing.

It is very common to have vaginal tearing during childbirth, which can cause pain to the mother. Whether it is a torn wound or a wound caused by a tear, infection must be prevented in life, especially during the postpartum period. Prevention in this regard must be strengthened. You cannot have sex until the wound has completely recovered. At this time, you should pay attention to diet conditioning and pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the private parts. Let's take a look at this aspect.

I still feel pain after a month of vaginal tearing.

Whether it is a torn wound or an episiotomy wound after delivery, the current suturing method uses absorbable sutures and there is no need to remove the sutures. However, for some individuals, the suture ends are not absorbed and will slowly be discharged. You can remove the suture ends by yourself or go to the hospital. During the 42 days of the postpartum period, the female reproductive organs are recovering and sexual intercourse is not allowed. After 42 days, if the lochia stops, sexual intercourse is allowed.

How to avoid perineal tears and episiotomy?

1. Controlling weight and preventing macrosomia are the key. There are so many benefits to controlling your weight during pregnancy. So, pregnant mothers, come on, control your mouth, move your legs, and a natural birth without episiotomy is not a dream!

2. During the delivery process, pregnant mothers should cooperate closely with doctors and master the rhythm of breathing and exertion. When you don't need to exert any effort, you should take short and shallow breaths, like panting after a long run, making "ha, ha" sounds. Otherwise, excessive force may cause tearing.

3. Perineum exercises increase flexibility.

Women who have given birth in the following situations need an episiotomy.

1. If the perineum has poor elasticity, narrow vaginal opening, or there is inflammation or edema in the perineum, it is estimated that severe perineal tearing is inevitable when the fetus is delivered.

2. The fetus is large, the fetal head is in an incorrect position, and the labor force is weak, so the fetal head is blocked by the perineum.

3. For older mothers over 35 years old, or those with high-risk pregnancies such as heart disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, etc., in order to reduce the physical exertion of the mother, shorten the labor process, and reduce the threat of delivery to the mother and baby, an episiotomy should be performed when the fetal head descends to the perineum.

4. The cervix is ​​fully dilated and the fetal head is low, but the fetus has obvious hypoxia, the fetal heart rate changes abnormally, or the heartbeat rhythm is uneven, and the amniotic fluid is turbid or mixed with meconium.

5. When using forceps to assist delivery.

If the membranes rupture prematurely, labor is prolonged, and there is inflammation and edema in the vagina and perineum, the perineal incision may not heal well. In addition, postpartum bowel movements and lochia discharge may also cause the incision to become contaminated and become inflamed. Therefore, after perineal incision, the local area must be kept clean and hygienic, and it must be washed immediately with clean water after each urination or defecation to avoid contaminating the wound.
