Effect of sitz bath of self-made Chinese herbal combined with potassium permanganate on postpartum perineal incision pain and healing
Objective To explore the effect of sitz bath of self-made Chinese herbal combined with potassium perman-ganate on postpartum perineal incision pain and healing.Methods A total of 126 parturients underwent lateral episiotomy(LE)were randomly assigned into observation group(n=63)and control group(n=63).All patients were managed by potassium permanganate sitz bath,and those in observation group were additionally treated with self-made Chinese herbal sitz bath.Trea-ted for 2 weeks,the aim was to compare visual analogue scale(VAS),inflammation-related factors(interleukin 1[IL-1],tumor necrosis factor alpha[TNF-α],C-reactive protein[CRP]),improvement of incision pain,wound healing rate,wound healing time.The adverse reactions were recorded.Results VAS score on weeks 1 and 2 in the both groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05),which decreased notably in the observation group compared with the control group(P<0.05).None of the wound healing rate differed significantly between groups(P>0.05).The wound healing time was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,IL-1,TNF-α,CRP in the both groups were signifi-cantly decreased(P<0.05),which in the observation group were more prevalent than those of the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly decreased in the observation group relevant to the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The sitz bath of self-made Chinese herbal combined with potassium permanganate for postpartum perineal incision can significantly reduce pain,shorten the wound healing time,improve inflammatory response,and with less adverse reactions.
