When giving birth, mothers may feel obvious pain, mainly because newborns are delivered through the vagina, and the vaginal opening is relatively small, which needs to be expanded to a certain extent. During the delivery process, the newborn's head may be compressed in the vagina, which may lead to head edema or hematoma. So, how long does it take for the hematoma in the baby's head to recover after vaginal compression?
Head hematoma caused by compression needs to be absorbed and intensified before it gradually subsides. However, there may be some differences between different babies, so it is normal for the recovery time to be advanced or delayed. It usually takes 3-4 months for it to be naturally absorbed, so parents don't have to worry too much.
In addition, scalp hematoma caused by compression does not actually have any impact on the intellectual development of babies. However, it is important to note in daily care that hot compress should not be used to reduce swelling in the first two days, as this may further increase the hematoma. After two days, hot compress can be used to promote local blood circulation, which is beneficial for the early resolution of hematoma.
But in fact, after seeing a doctor, if there are no problems and no special treatment is needed, it will basically be absorbed on its own, so parents don't have to worry too much.
