What to Do When Your Bottom is a Hot Mess After Childbirth

Bringing a new life into the world is a miraculous experience, but let's be real: childbirth can wreak havoc on your nether regions. If you're feeling like your bottom is a hot mess postpartum, fear not, because you're not alone, and there are ways to soothe and support your tender bottom during this delicate time.

Here's everything you need to know about handling the aftermath of childbirth with a little more comfort and care.

Episiotomy: Navigating the Aftermath

First up on the postpartum rollercoaster: the episiotomy. An episiotomy is a surgical cut made to widen the vaginal opening during childbirth, often done to facilitate a smoother delivery. While it's intended to help, it can leave you feeling sore, swollen, and downright uncomfortable afterward. Expect some tenderness and pain in the area as your body heals.

Ease your discomfort with the healing power of CaboCréme's Postpartum Sitz and Bath Salts. Formulated with Dead Sea salt, calendula, arnica, vitamin E, and anti-inflammatory cabbage leaf extract, this magical blend nourishes and repairs tender skin, providing much-needed relief during the recovery process.

Perineal Tears: Embracing Natural Healing

Next on the list of postpartum surprises: perineal tears. These tears occur naturally during vaginal delivery as the baby makes its grand entrance into the world. Depending on the severity, they can range from minor discomfort to more significant pain and may require stitches to heal properly. One school of thought to avoid both tears and episiotomies is to use a lubricant and massage the vaginal tissue every day leading up to delivery. 

Give your tender perineum some love with CaboCréme's Postpartum Sitz and Bath Salts. The combination of Dead Sea salt and nourishing botanicals helps soothe inflammation, promote healing, and restore balance to your delicate skin, allowing you to embrace the natural healing process with more comfort.

Hemorrhoids: Dealing with Postpartum Pests

Last but not least, let's talk about hemorrhoids. These pesky little nuisances can rear their ugly heads during pregnancy or postpartum, causing pain, itching, and discomfort in your bottom region. Blame it on the increased pressure on your pelvic area or hormonal changes—either way, they're no fun.

Say goodbye to hemorrhoid woes with CaboCréme's Postpartum Sitz and Bath Salts. Packed with the goodness of Dead Sea salt, calming calendula, nourishing vitamin E, and anti-inflammatory cabbage leaf extract, this powerhouse formula provides soothing relief to inflamed tissues, helping you bid adieu to discomfort and get back to feeling like yourself again.
