What to do if the vulva is red and swollen after a normal birth?

When women choose to give birth naturally, their private parts are prone to some damage. Due to the large size or head of the fetus, it is easy to cause tearing or episiotomy in the female private parts. It is also a common phenomenon for women to have redness and swelling of the vulva after giving birth naturally. This is a phenomenon caused by inflammation. Cleansing fluid can be used to inhibit bacteria, and you should pay more attention to observation.

It may be related to vulvitis, non-absorption of absorbable sutures, etc. Inflammation may recur. If not treated actively, sequelae may be left. If it is caused by inflammation, active treatment is required. If the absorbable sutures are not absorbed, they will generally get better after the sutures are removed.

How to restore vaginal tightness after childbirth?

Vagina tightening exercises:

Lie flat on the bed (you can put a small blanket under you); take a deep breath through your nose, and your abdomen will slowly bulge; exhale slowly to relax your abdominal muscles. Do this 5-10 times each time.

When standing on the bus, new mothers can also take time to do some private exercises. Spread your legs slightly, contract the buttocks muscles on both sides, hold them together, bring them close to the thighs, turn your knees outward, and then contract the anal sphincter to move the vagina upward. When exercising, walking or standing, consciously tighten the inner thigh and perineum muscles, then relax and repeat the exercise.

The new mother should place her buttocks on the edge of the bed and lie on her back with her legs straight and stretched out in the air but not touching the ground. Hold the edge of the bed with both hands to prevent herself from slipping down. Close her legs and slowly lift them upwards. Straighten her knees and bring them close to her upper body. When the legs are raised above the torso, hold the legs with both hands and pull them against the abdomen. Keep your knees straight, then slowly lower your legs back to their original position. Repeat this 6 times, each lasting 10-15 minutes, once a day.
