Patient's question:
Patient's Gender: My wife gave birth naturally at Lianxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital on December 1, 2005. The labor process was very smooth, from admission to delivery, it took less than two hours. The baby weighed 3.2 kilograms. However, even today, turning over in bed still causes her significant pain, coughing also hurts, and her mobility is very limited. There have been no signs of inflammation or fever. According to her, the first two stitches felt much more painful than the birth itself when performed by a younger doctor. After she cried out in pain, an older doctor stitched her, and the pain subsided. On the seventh day, she went back to the hospital for a check-up and was told that the outside had already healed, but the so-called "prolonged suture" had not yet healed properly. She wants to know if this is related to the hospital not stitching properly and whether it will have any impact on her health.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is quite normal. Changing the sleeping position to have the mother sleep on her side can help avoid prolonged standing or sitting for a long time, thereby reducing pain in that area. Using a cushion to support the mother's buttocks while sitting can also be helpful.
