Infrared Episiotomy Home Care (红外线灯)

Episiotomy

After a successful normal delivery, you need to learn to take care of your episiotomy wound.

There are 2 effective methods to assist episiotomy wound healing :

1) Sitz bath by soaking your wound into a warm salt water.

Specially-designed basin to assist sitz bath


2) Infrared lamp to shine to the episiotomy wound to reduce pain and swelling.

The infrared treatment is available in the hospital and the treatment will start 6 hours after the normal delivery.
Unfortunately, most of you can’t continue the treatment after you discharge from the hospital.

In order to provide convenient infrared home treatment, you can borrow a unit of infrared lamp from my clinic before you discharge from the hospital so that you can continue the infrared treatment at home for 1 week.

You need to return the infrared lamp to my clinic on your first follow-up.

Instruction to use Infrared treament:

1) You need to shine the infrared 2 times perday.

2) The duration of of treatment is 15 minutes in each session.

3) The distance between the infrared lamp and your episiotomy wound is about 45 cm.

Please handle my infrared lamp with care as no additional charge is imposed for this service.
