What should I do if I have vulvar itching after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Since having my child, the area below me has often been sore and uncomfortable. I'm wondering what to do about vaginal itching after a C-section?

Doctor's answer:

The phenomenon of vulvar itching after a cesarean section is mainly due to infectious inflammation. Local washing with potassium permanganate can be applied externally. At the same time, it is important to carefully observe whether there are any abnormal secretions. Underwear should be sterilized and exposed to the sun frequently, which is helpful in improving the current condition. Further examination is necessary to confirm the specific situation and determine the topical medication for anti-inflammatory treatment.
In addition to treating the cesarean section, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a pleasant mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
