How to wash a cesarean section wound

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should I clean the episiotomy wound after a vaginal birth?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the episiotomy wound can heal within five days as long as proper hygiene is maintained. No special treatment is required. It is recommended that if the wound is healing well, you can skip daily cleaning and focus on maintaining good hygiene in the perineal area.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to further complications. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments are important—opt for light, easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
