Healing Vaginal Cut

[HannaZulueta]

Hi fellow mommies! I just gave birth to my first biological child last Wednesday (May 8 ) via normal delivery. It's been 5 days now but I still feel the same amount of pain since Day 1. I am taking Mefenamic Acid and Diclofenac Potassium as pain killers, Amoxicillin as anti-bacterial and Betadine Feminine Wash as cleanser. Any advice on how I can lessen the pain and speed-up healing?

Hello sis, actually for nung nanganak ako sa frist born ko, 2 to 3 weeks bago talaga nawala ang sakit ng vaginal cut ko. Darating ka sa point na mangangati na yan kasi papagaling na. Basta, try to wear cotton panties at hayaan mo na matuyo sa hangin. wag laging moist o basa para di mag-breed ang bacteria. Iwasan mo rin ang lumakad ng lumakakad, umupo ng walang unan, or umupo ng isang side lang. Mahapdi talaga yan sis, eventually gagaling din naman. Drink lots of pineapple juice din

ako din sis nung manganak ako 2 to 3 weeks din bago nawala yung pain..

Hi ginawa ko is bumili ako ng neck pillow.. may butas kasi siya sa bgitna so yun yung ginagawa kong upuan...lahat na uupuan ko yun muna ang nakalagay tapos saka ako uupo.. kahit sa kama pa yan.. para hindi laging napreress yung sugat.. mabilis gumaling yung sugat.. tsaka relief talaga isakto mo lang sa butas yung part na may tahi.. try mo din wag mag napkin pag nasa bahay lang naman messy nga lang pag nagpapa breastfeed kasi lumalakas yung bleeding pag nagpapa breastfeed pero mas makakasingaw yung wound..

Naku masakit ang vaginal cut though di ko pa natry ang ma-CS. Kasi mahapdi pag iihi at maghuhugas. Masakit pag mag-poo  May times na kakaiba yung hapdi, parang binabanat na balat. Kakaparanoid pa, baka bumuka. May ibinigay sa akin na ointment pra mabilis mag-heal. Will post tomorrow pag mahanap ko yung reseta.

For healing, I put in cooled witchhazel pads on top of my napkin to soothe the pain. I also put neosporin w/ pain relief

Each time I peed I would use a water bottle to splash water while I peed to dilute my pee so it wouldn't sting as much.

I was back to normal in 2 weeks time.

Since the sun don't shine on the lady parts, helpful din to use infra-red light to speed up wound healing, especially for those facing wound healing issues like diabetic moms.

Sis were do you buy those witch hazel pads?

[khriseeee]

^My mom bought them from the US, they're called TUCKS. I guess you could make do with cotton pads and witchhazel that you put in the ref.

Hello guys, ask lang po ako kung paano mag start ng thread? wala kasi button ng NEW TOPIC eh. meron din sana ako concern na baka din dahil sa vaginal cut. Ive been having a hard time everytime my hubby and I make love. Its been 3 months palang after ng delivery ko (normal delivery).

^ are you breastfeeding your baby? Dry talaga yan at first kasi ganyan din naexperience namin nung mag-do kami after i gave birth. We use lubricant to ease the pain of drying. Pagtagal naman niyan mawawala na rin yung dryness lalo na kung regular kayong nagcocontact.

about the topic naman,after i gave birth akala ko sobrang sakit ng vaginal cut pero siguro nasa pain tolerance pa din. kapag talaga makirot na makirot im taking mefenamic acid. Nagwash din ako ng pinakuluang dahong bayabas noon tapos betadine para madali gumaling yung sugat. Nahirapan lang ako nun sa pag-poop kasi parang yung vaginal cut ko sagad hanggang sa may butas ng anus.

[rigette]

ang advice ng ob ko, dahon ng bayabas. it works daw talaga. pakulo daw ng bayabas tapos ilipat yung water and leaves sa arinola tapos umupo dun sa arinola para yung steam mapunta sa sugat. tapos pag malamig na daw yung tubig, use it pang hugas.

di ko natry, kasi nasa condo kami, wala naman bayabas dito. hehe

Salamat sa reply teh. Yes Im breastfeeding po teh pero mix lang with formula milk. Pag breastfeeding po ba nakaka dry ba yun ng private area?

I guess we will use na nga lang ata nung lubricant for now.



@topic
I have used dahon ng bayabas until two months after ko manganak. tsaka im using betadine feminine wash for maintenance lang 2 times a week. And I was adviced din to take mefenamic, grabe yung nakalimutan ko mag take ng pain reliever ang sakit mag poop, gumamit na nga lang ako ng dulcolax para mabilis lumabas yug poop ko. yung feeling na parang ang hapdi habang nag poop pati after mag poop na parang dumudugo pero wala naman. tsaka parang feeling ko din nun yung vaginal cut ko nasa may butas ng anus ko. Pero after 6 weeks nalang ok na din naman.

so far, eto yung mga nacompile ko na after care for episiotomy

-apply ice pack within the first 12 hrs
-use betadine wash when washing
-use tucks
-use donut pillow to sit on
-expose stitches to air at least 2x a day for 10 mins
-take some stool softener (colace)
-use peri-bottle while peeing

sis beazone13 yes nakakadry talaga pag nagpapabreastfeed siguro it has something to do with the hormones din

ganyan na ganyan din yung procedure na ginawa ko after giving birth sis rigette..parang traditional way kasi to,yung mga elder sa amin ang nagpagawa niyan sa akin. Ok naman mabilis talaga magheal.

[Issabella]

dahon ng bayabas really works. my mom sent a bag full of bayabas leaves from the province after i gave birth to my first child in 2011. i used it instead of betadine and after a week during the follow-up check-up my ob was impressed coz ang ganda daw ng healing ng sugat. i didn't tell na i'm using guava leaves pero nahulaan niya base sa healing ng sugat.

[iska-hazel]

Dahon ng bayabas!!!!

I agree sa mga sis nating Isabella and Rigette

nasubukan ko magpakulo ng dahon ng bayabas at yan ginamit ko pangwash ng episiotomy ko.
nasubukan ko din yung mejo palamigin konti tas steam bath ako nung pinakulo sa arinola upo ako ahaha, in no time maganda heal ng sugat happy pa kasi mas naalagaan ko agad si baby.

7years later im having a baby now, due ko sa august by july pa lang papasuyud ko na palengke namin makapaghoard nga ng dahon ng bayabas hahaha

[mountainlily]

[fionaapple]
