Patient's question:
Natural delivery for about 7 days, about 5 Sitz baths where some flesh fell out, but I didn't dare to take Sitz baths anymore. Now it's been 25 days, and the flesh is still at the vaginal opening. It's noticeable when standing or squatting, but not when lying down. The lochia has been present for several days. When having dry stools, there might be a little blood in the vagina. Below is a photo taken after manually parting the flesh. How severe is it for you?Doctor's answer:
After a normal delivery, the pelvic floor muscles remain relatively loose for about a week, so sitting baths can cause the pelvic floor muscles to prolapse, leading to this situation again. Currently, it's not particularly severe and will gradually heal. You can engage in postpartum recovery activities, which should be sufficient.Additionally, for patients with uterine prolapse during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
