Blender’s Notes Sitz Bath ~ Post Partum Recovery Compress:

Steep Me Self Help combinations are a fantastic way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs was built to help the new mom heal from delivery by offering a bath/compress option for healing. This blend was mixed to help, Reduce Swelling, Prevent Infection, Relax Muscles, Pain Relief, Speed Healing, Relieve Soreness and Shrink Hemorrhoids.  For women who have given vaginal birth, most doctors ask them to go for a bath whenever they can. Hot tub baths are still to be avoided since they might be unclean. However, this is not the case if your perineum has had to undergo stitches after your delivery was complete. It is a similar case for women who have also experienced a caesarean delivery. Since stitches and incisions are present on the body and they are yet to be healed completely, the doctors do not wish to take any chance with exposing them to sources of infection. This might result in you staying away from the bath for about four to six weeks as well. Baths are great for relaxing your muscles, stimulating your nervous system, and gently exfoliating skin. A cross-sectional study published in 2018 found that participants who took immersion baths in warm water each day experienced less fatigue, stress, and depression. Giving birth to a baby via the vagina is no easy feat. If you are fortunate to have had your birth with minimal blood loss or no harm to the vagina, you can walk around as normal after a few hours of your delivery. This can make it easier for you to take a quick bath and feel refreshed in no time. In certain cases, an episiotomy might be conducted in a woman’s perineum if the vagina stretches during delivery and a doctor must make cuts to facilitate the baby’s birth. This can result in pain after delivery and make walking around for a couple of days difficult. When you progress enough to walk to the toilet without support, it might be an enjoyable time to discuss a bath with your doctor. Most doctors will even recommend taking a bath since it ensures that the stitches in the vaginal area will be cleansed, and the chances of infection are reduced. Be gentle around the vaginal region and ensure it is completely dry after the bath. Postpartum Bath – When Can You Take a Bath After Giving Birth? (firstcry.com)
