When going to the toilet, sitting forward or kneeling can avoid excessive pain.

Keep doing basic pelvic floor exercises. Start doing it as soon as possible, this exercise can speed up the recovery

Taking a bath every day and cleaning the wound after going to the toilet can effectively prevent wound infection.

If the patient's wound becomes inflamed and painful, targeted treatment is required. For mild inflammation, potassium permanganate solution bath, oral antibiotics or some medications can be used. If the wound does not heal for a long time due to inflammation, it is recommended to use products such as wound healing products to treat it and eliminate the wound pain as soon as possible.
