Abstract

Pregnancy is a creative and productive period in a women's life and the process of delivery completely depends on the mother and the fetus, where the mother plays a major role in giving birth to the fetus. The birth canal plays an important role in delivering a baby safely. The structure of the birth canal varies from person to person, some may have thick vaginal tissue that may not dilate even after pressure has been applied to the fetal axis. Therefore, during the second stage of labor, an incision is made in the perineum to allow adequate passage so that the baby can be delivered easily. Wound care is especially important. If neglected, it can lead to prenatal wound infections and delay healing that can interfere with mother-infant interactions, breastfeeding, and prolonged hospital stays Pregnant women can be advised for Yoni Pichu, Yoni Abhyanga, and Basti after completion of 37weeks which help in Sukha Prasava by increasing perineal relaxation and muscular suppleness during labour. . Saptopakrama can be adopted as Lepa application with Ropana Dravyas, incense, Prakshalana to clean wounds, reduce pain, reduce inflammation and promote wound healing.
