Picture of episiotomy wound sutured

Episiotomy during vaginal delivery has always been a problem for mothers who give birth naturally, which is also the reason why most mothers choose cesarean section. The vast majority of mothers who choose natural childbirth will have episiotomy when they have no choice, and the many rumors about episiotomy have always been a sharp knife hanging over the hearts of mothers before childbirth.

There are many rumors about episiotomy during normal delivery, such as: the episiotomy wound will affect the couple's sexual life; the episiotomy wound will cause postpartum urinary incontinence; the episiotomy wound can easily cause damage to women's private parts, etc. We are not sure whether there is any scientific evidence to support this rumor. So, what are the good-looking pictures of episiotomy wound sutures?

An episiotomy is a procedure that involves making an oblique incision in the private part of the body. Episiotomy is not a basic operation procedure for natural childbirth, and not every pregnant woman needs an episiotomy. It is only performed when necessary. It is a strategic decision made by gynecologists after careful consideration and taking into account the care of mother and child.

The speed of episiotomy is very fast. The gynecologist will use medical scissors to cut it open quickly in an instant. If you are in severe pain, you may not even realize that you have had an episiotomy. If local anesthesia is injected, the episiotomy wound will not hurt at all. In addition, after the baby is born, repair surgery will be carried out, and the sutures will be gradually removed according to the anatomical level. Because local anesthesia is used during the sutures, it will not be very painful.

Whether the episiotomy wound of a pregnant woman should be sutured should be decided based on the condition of the episiotomy wound. If the episiotomy wound is relatively large, it can generally be sutured under the doctor's instructions. Episiotomy during childbirth is very common, and it generally facilitates a more complete birth of the fetus and has certain benefits to the body.

During this period, you need to take good care of your body, use warm water to clean the vulva every day, change sanitary napkins frequently, wash underwear frequently, and it is best to wash the underwear by hand in boiling water or expose it to the sun to eliminate germs. Some parts can also be sterilized and disinfected every day to prevent cross infection.
