The healing time of postpartum laceration stitches is mostly about one week, and the wound is mostly completely healed in about one month. The specific healing period will be affected by the maternal constitution and the recovery of the incision. If the local shows redness, exudation or poor maternal constitution, the healing time will become longer, and even the wound infection may be combined. It is necessary to use anti-inflammatory drugs to treat according to the doctor's advice. After sewing, the most important thing is to ensure that the wound is clean and dry. Do a good job of disinfection of the incision every day to prevent infection. Women should pay attention to letting the body rest more after giving birth. They should not sit for a long time or stand for a long time. They can drink nutritious soups such as crucian carp soup or spareribs soup, which is helpful for body recovery.
