What medicine should I use for inflammation of episiotomy wound?

Some women, considering that a caesarean section will leave scars on their bodies, will choose to give birth naturally. However, if the woman's vulva is too narrow, the doctor will perform an episiotomy to make the woman's vagina larger and make it easier for the baby to be born. Therefore, women who have undergone episiotomy should pay attention to protecting their wounds during the confinement period. However, some women who have undergone episiotomy have their wounds inflamed. What drugs should be used to reduce inflammation?

The episiotomy wound is inflamed, which needs treatment. The episiotomy wound is infected. The infected wound has redness, swelling, heat, pain and functional disorders. It needs to be treated in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. Early treatment is possible, such as hot compress, physical therapy, and local wet compress with Levnol. If it takes some time, it is hard to say. If the wound splits due to infection, it will be troublesome to change the dressing at this part. It is not easy to change or bandage, and the contamination rate is still very high. Treat it as soon as possible.

Nursing

1. Eat more high-fiber foods, develop regular bowel habits, and drink more water to avoid constipation. If a woman is constipated after childbirth, she may easily cause the wound to be lacerated again if she exerts too much force when defecating.

2. Keep the vulva clean to prevent infection. Change sanitary pads frequently to prevent lochia from soaking the wound and increasing the difficulty of healing; disinfect the wound every day, and wipe the vulva from front to back with disinfectant cotton after each bowel movement.

3. Prevent the perineal incision from splitting after the stitches are removed. Get out of bed and move around early after delivery, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink more fish soup, pig's trotter soup, etc., do not eat spicy food, and keep bowel movements smooth; once constipation occurs, do not hold your breath or exert force, and use enema to help with bowel movements; within a few days after the stitches are removed, avoid forceful squatting, and retract the perineum and buttocks before sitting on the toilet when defecating to prevent the perineum wound from dehiscence; when sitting, the center of gravity of the body should be tilted to the right side to avoid pressure on the wound that causes the incision epidermis to shift; avoid falling or excessive abduction of the thighs that may cause the wound to dehiscence again; it is not advisable to be discharged from the hospital on the day the stitches are removed, because wound dehiscence often occurs on the day the stitches are removed.

4. Avoid hematoma in the wound. During the first few days after delivery, the mother should pay attention to the condition of the incision. If the wound is painful within 1-2 hours after the operation and becomes more and more severe, it is likely that a hematoma has formed. The mother should immediately apply compound golden flower oil to the incision on the vulva and inner side of the vagina several times to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

5. For patients with severe lacerations and swollen and painful wounds, Pearl Skin Regenerating Cream (Powder) should be applied promptly after surgery to promote healing of the lacerations, avoid wound infection, and prevent scar hyperplasia.

6. Avoid exerting force: Do not exert force when defecating to avoid reopening the repaired wound.

7. Do not lift heavy objects: Within 1 month after delivery, do not lift heavy objects or do any housework or exercise that requires physical effort.

8. Avoid sexual activity: Sexual activity should be avoided within 6 weeks after delivery.

9. After the wound heals, if there is pain, nodules, pustules or sutures are not absorbed, you need to use detoxification cream to help remove the thread ends and deeply reduce inflammation.
