Painful tearing during urination

Tearing is easy to occur during normal childbirth, which can cause pain in the area between the anus and genitals, and can also cause stinging when urinating. In this case, you must prevent infection and pay attention to the hygiene of the private parts. In daily life, do not eat spicy or irritating foods. If any abnormal conditions occur, you should check in time and seek help from a doctor. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Painful tearing during urination

1. The perineum wound has not healed completely, so it is normal to have abnormal urine. 2. Rinse the perineum with warm water every day, and avoid sitting baths. 3. Observe the healing of the perineum. If redness, swelling, or suppuration occurs, go to the hospital for treatment.

Clinically, women in the following situations need to undergo episiotomy.

1. If the perineum has poor elasticity, narrow vaginal opening, or there is inflammation or edema in the perineum, it is estimated that severe perineal tearing is inevitable when the fetus is delivered.

2. The fetus is large, the fetal head is in an incorrect position, and the labor force is weak, so the fetal head is blocked by the perineum.

3. For older mothers over 35 years old, or those with high-risk pregnancies such as heart disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, etc., in order to reduce the physical exertion of the mother, shorten the labor process, and reduce the threat of delivery to the mother and baby, an episiotomy should be performed when the fetal head descends to the perineum.

4. The cervix is ​​fully dilated and the fetal head is low, but the fetus has obvious hypoxia, the fetal heart rate changes abnormally, or the heartbeat rhythm is uneven, and the amniotic fluid is turbid or mixed with meconium.

5. When using forceps to assist delivery.

If the membranes rupture prematurely, labor is prolonged, and there is inflammation and edema in the vagina and perineum, the perineal incision may not heal well. In addition, postpartum bowel movements and lochia discharge may also cause the incision to become contaminated and become inflamed. Therefore, after perineal incision, the local area must be kept clean and hygienic, and it must be washed immediately with clean water after each urination or defecation to avoid contaminating the wound.

How to avoid perineal tears and episiotomy?

1. Controlling weight and preventing macrosomia are the key. There are so many benefits to controlling your weight during pregnancy. So, pregnant mothers, come on, control your mouth, move your legs, and a natural birth without episiotomy is not a dream!

2. During the delivery process, pregnant mothers should cooperate closely with doctors and master the rhythm of breathing and exertion. When you don't need to exert any effort, you should take short and shallow breaths, like panting after a long run, making "ha, ha" sounds. Otherwise, excessive force may cause tearing.

3. Perineum exercises increase flexibility.
