After delivery, if there is no perineal laceration, there is no perineal lateral incision, you can wash the vulva after defecation, and wash it with warm boiled water. If there is perineal laceration or perineal lateral incision, you can use disinfectant on the second day after delivery. You can use diluted iodine to wash the vulva. After each defecation, you should clean it, and you should change sanitary napkins in time. Because the amount of postpartum lochia is relatively large, if you do not change sanitary napkins for a long time, it is easy to cause local infection, affecting the healing of perineal wounds, especially after defecation, you must clean the vulva.
