Postpartum wound inflammation is a problem that many new mothers may encounter, which not only affects their physical recovery, but may also cause psychological pressure.

What are the causes of postpartum wound inflammation?

 Inflammation of the wound after normal delivery: During normal delivery, the vagina may be torn or an episiotomy may be performed. These wounds are located in the sensitive area where the urethra, vaginal opening, and anus meet, and are prone to infection.

Inflammation of wound after cesarean section:

Postoperative infection: If the dressing and dressing operations are not strict after surgery, it may to incision infection.

Fat liquefaction: A high-protein, high-calorie diet before delivery may to abdominal fat accumulation. The fat layer is thicker and lacks blood vessels, making it difficult for the incision to heal.

Postoperative malnutrition: Malnutrition can delay wound healing.

How do we solve this kind of problem?

1. Drainage: If the wound is suppurated, it should be drained first. Rinse the wound with saline and then disinfect it with iodine or hydrogen peroxide.

2. Soak the wound in a sitz bath: Use 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water sitz bath, twice a day, 10-15 minutes each time, to help reduce inflammation.

3. Clean the thread ends in the wound: If the thread ends cause inflammation, they should be cleaned in time, and the wound should be rinsed with saline and iodine should be applied to reduce inflammation.

4.  Wound drainage: For aseptic inflammation caused by fat liquefaction, wound drainage should be performed to avoid fluid accumulation, and dressings should be changed regularly.

5. Wound debridement: If the wound is severely inflamed, purulent or ulcerated, and does not heal for a long time, you should go to the hospital for debridement as soon as possible.

Precautions:

Keep the wound clean and dry to avoid infection.

Follow your doctor's instructions and use medications correctly.
