I believe many mothers will find that their vaginal discharge turns yellow after giving birth, and they are extremely worried due to unknown reasons. But if postpartum care is done properly, there is generally no abnormal vaginal discharge. So, what should I do if my vaginal discharge turns yellow after giving birth?
Firstly, if the vaginal discharge turns yellow after childbirth, it is likely due to gynecological inflammation. The baby is prone to inflammation after giving birth. If it is not too serious, you can wash the external genitalia with some detergent under the guidance of a doctor. If it is serious, further examination should be done. It is recommended to perform routine vaginal discharge tests to further clarify the diagnosis and then prescribe targeted medication to prevent vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. caused by reproductive tract infections.
Secondly, women should pay attention to personal hygiene after childbirth, change sanitary pads in a timely manner, pay attention to the cleanliness of the lower body, keep it dry, learn to observe the condition of lower body secretions, avoid sexual activity in the early stage, and prohibit bathing, hot springs, swimming, etc., otherwise it may cause bacterial infections. If necessary, some cleaning products for the perineum can be used under the advice of a doctor.
Finally, it is recommended that mothers consume high protein foods based on their postpartum recovery. On the one hand, this can increase the body's resistance and restore its functions, and on the other hand, it can resist bacterial invasion. Prohibit eating spicy and stimulating foods, otherwise it may cause a serious increase in uterine secretions.
