How to deal with suppuration of wounds in pregnant women

For pregnant women, their physical constitution is relatively poor. If they do not pay attention in daily life, they may suffer from abrasions, falls, bruises and other accidents. At this time, they should pay more attention to health care and carry out anti-inflammatory treatment in time to avoid infection and suppuration. Once suppuration occurs, it should be drained in time, and drugs such as iodine tincture and hydrogen peroxide should be used for anti-inflammatory and sterilization. They should strengthen their diet and avoid eating irritating foods.

How to deal with suppuration of wounds in pregnant women

1. Drainage of pus:

If the mother finds that there is suppuration in the wound after delivery, if the situation is mild, the first thing to do is to drain the pus. You can use normal saline to rinse the patient's wound, and then use drugs such as iodine tincture and hydrogen peroxide to disinfect and sterilize after rinsing.

2. Soak the wound in a sitting bath:

If the new mother does not take proper care of the postpartum wound and it causes inflammation of the wound, she can choose to soak the wound in a local 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water sitz bath, twice a day, each time for about 10-15 minutes, but it cannot be used for a long time.

3. Oral medication:

While cooperating with the wound treatment by sitz bath, take medication as needed and take some antibiotics orally under the guidance of a doctor. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs is also effective for wound inflammation, but it should be noted that the use of medications during pregnancy may have adverse effects on the baby. Consult a doctor for specific medications and do not take medications without authorization.

4. Wound drainage:

If the aseptic inflammation is caused by fat liquefaction in the wound area, it is necessary to drain the wound area to avoid fluid accumulation in the wound. At the same time, change the dressing on the wound every day to promote rapid healing of postpartum wounds.

5. Clean the wound thread:

If the postpartum wound becomes inflamed due to wound thread ends, the wound thread ends need to be cleaned in time, and the wound should be rinsed with saline after cleaning. At the same time, iodine tincture should be applied to the wound for anti-inflammatory work, and the wound dressing should be changed every day.

What to eat for wound healing

1. You can eat light vegetables such as tofu, cabbage, cauliflower, green beans, peanuts, jelly, green radish, white radish, bean sprouts, cucumber, yam, vermicelli, baotou cabbage, melon, bean curd, and beans. 2. Pig's trotters: Pig's trotters are rich in zinc and collagen. Zinc deficiency can reduce the function of fibroblasts. Supplementing more collagen can accelerate wound healing. 3. Sea bass: Sea bass is rich in easily digestible protein, fat, vitamin B2, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, iron, selenium, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sea bass is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
