How to clean the lower body during the confinement period

After pregnancy and childbirth, women need to observe the confinement period. There are many things to pay attention to during this period. If the confinement period is not done well, it can easily affect your future life. These impacts may be permanent and difficult to heal. During the confinement period, Qianxi’s own lower body is also a problem. How should women clean their lower body during the confinement period?

1. Under normal circumstances

Wash the perineum frequently with warm water every day, especially after each bowel movement, use Sanitary cotton to wipe and rinse the vulva. Do not wipe from back to front, but from front to back.

2. When hematoma occurs in the wound

Some mothers will have edema in the wound due to a long second stage of labor. The sutures should be tied very tightly before being removed. You can use 95% gauze or 50% magnesium sulfate solution for hot or wet compresses, twice a day.

3. When the perineal incision becomes infected

When the wound becomes swollen, painless and hardened, take antibiotics as directed by the doctor and soak the wound in a local 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water sitz bath, twice a day, each time for 10-15 minutes.

Using decoction of traditional Chinese medicine (ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe medicine) that clears heat, detoxifies, and disperses nodules to clean the wound also has a very good effect.

You can use a desk lamp for local therapy at home, but be careful not to get burned.

It is very important to clean your lower body correctly. Only by paying attention to personal hygiene can you be healthier.
