Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. The day of delivery is approaching, and she is very nervous. She asks the doctor what sleeping position is better after an episiotomy during a normal delivery.Doctor's answer:
Can sleep on your side, which can reduce the pain of vaginal tearing. For vaginal tearing, it is recommended that moms rest in bed as much as possible and avoid sitting, as this can easily worsen the degree of wound tearing and promote wound healing. Moms should pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean and dry, and use warm water for cleaning to prevent infection. If there is a lot of discharge, you can use a cleansing solution for cleaning when necessary. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
