Patient's question:
8 days postpartum, I have a swollen and slightly itchy urethral opening. Could it be a urinary tract infection? My lochia hasn't completely stopped yet. Can I use salt water for a bath? I have a daily value of postpartum care prescribed by the doctor, which includes washing the external genital area. I'm currently breastfeeding.Doctor's answer:
Your current condition can be addressed by adding Yinxuning Cleanser to the water used for cleaning the perineum. Pay attention to drinking more water and urinating frequently to prevent a recurrence of urinary tract infections. It is recommended that you first focus on maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the perineum to prevent further infections. Pay attention to sunning the cotton underwear after washing to sterilize it. The above advice is for the question "8 days post-cesarean delivery, with swollen and slightly itchy urethral opening." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
