What should I do if there is a thread coming out of the episiotomy wound?

During normal delivery, a side incision may be required. This is a relatively minor operation, but due to the special location of the operation, infection may occur. At this time, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out in time. You can apply iodine tincture, or take oral levofloxacin capsules and other drugs for treatment. Once infection and inflammation occur, pus drainage and wound drainage should be carried out in time for treatment.

What to do if the wound becomes inflamed after delivery? 1. Drain the pus. If the mother finds that the wound is festering after delivery, the first thing to do is to drain the pus if the situation is mild. You can use normal saline to rinse the patient's wound, and then use drugs such as iodine tincture and hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization after rinsing. 2. Soak the wound in a sitz bath. If the new mother does not take proper care of the postpartum wound and causes inflammation of the wound, you can choose to use a local 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water sitz bath to soak the wound, twice a day, each time for about 10-15 minutes, but it cannot be used for a long time.
