Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for 40 days, but I often feel pain and discomfort in my vagina (the perineum was cut during childbirth). The vaginal discharge is always not clean. Why is this happening? How can it be treated? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it is recommended that you first check for any edema in your perineum. If there is edema, it may be caused by an infection at the perineal incision, leading to pain. It is advised that you maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and use povidone-iodine solution to disinfect the area daily to prevent infection. Additionally, keep the area dry and avoid moisture. Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum consultation risks should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Furthermore, patients should also create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
