For the sake of the baby's healthy coming to the world, many new mothers have to perform episiotomy, but after the birth, the side cut wound will itch. Do you know what's going on? What's the reason for the itching of the side cut wound?
What is the itching of the wound after the operation
Generally speaking, the symptoms of knife edge itch often appear in the process of wound healing after antepartum lateral incision. The new blood vessels and nerves of the patient's wound grow connective tissue. These new blood vessels and nerves are very dense. When people are crowded together, the nerves are easily stimulated, and then the symptoms of wound itch appear. And our nerve regeneration is relatively slow, mostly in the late stage of wound healing. So normally, the itchy symptoms of the wound prove that the patient's wound is about to heal.
Therefore, once the patient's side cut has itchy symptoms, as long as they can bear it, they should avoid doing any treatment measures. Especially avoid scratching the wound, which will not only aggravate the itching of the wound, but also may cause wound infection. If the patient's nerves are more sensitive, it's hard to bear the effect of some antipruritic hormone drugs on the wound.
Of course, wound inflammation can also lead to itching. Once the patient's wound appears inflammatory infection, it must be treated in time. At the same time, for some serious wounds, we can use the medicine liquid such as the close-up & cedil; prescription to eliminate the wound inflammation, and then heal the wound faster.
In a word, do not panic if the side cut itch, judge whether it is caused by inflammation according to the wound condition, and then deal with it pertinently. We should also pay attention to wound care after operation, specifically:
Flushing after toileting: women should wash their perineum with water after giving birth and defecating, just like wiping it with toilet paper. They should wash it from the front to the back to avoid bacterial infection. Keep the wound dry: after toileting and bathing, pat the perineum with face paper to keep the wound dry and clean. Do not use force: do not use force to defecate, so as to avoid the crack of mended wound. Don't lift heavy objects: don't lift heavy objects within 1 month after childbirth, and don't do any physical housework and exercise.
For swelling and pain, you can add superior iodine sitting bath to the water or use baking lamp to speed up the recovery. (superior iodine can kill bacteria, while warm water and baking lamp can promote blood circulation with high temperature)
Take more high fiber food to avoid constipation. If a woman is constipated after childbirth, too much force in defecation can easily cause the wound to crack again. Add more water and drink 2000cc every day.
