Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for 38 days (via C-section), and before now, I didn't feel any pain. Today, I noticed some pain and redness in my labia minora. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Do you have sexual activity? If not, it might be caused by poor immunity leading to vulvovaginitis. It is recommended to wash the outside area and apply some ointment to see if it helps. If it doesn't work, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Postpartum women should have a follow-up examination at the hospital 42 days after delivery. For cesarean section patients, daily treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep schedules while avoiding alcohol. We hope cesarean section patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
