Patient's question:
After a month of a natural birth with a left episiotomy, two weeks after the stitches were removed, I experienced left buttock pain and could not sit normally. A gynecological examination showed that the wound was healing well.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and avoid heavy loads on the waist. You can consider physical therapy, massage, and infrared heat lamps for local application. Apply Voltaren cream locally. Since you are breastfeeding, oral medications may affect the baby. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and consult a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.Generally, doctors will advise women with postpartum complications to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
