| Summary: | Background: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) combined with abdominal breathing in rehabilitating postpartum perineal oedema and Serum IL-6, IL-10, TNF-a. Methods: A total of 172 primiparous women who delivered in our hospital between January 2022 and June 2023 were randomly assigned to either the observation group (n=86) or the control group (n=86). The control group received routine midwifery care, while the observation group received additional MLD and abdominal breathing training. Outcomes measured included pain levels, induration diameter, comfort, emotional state, recovery time, and clinical efficacy. Inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), were also assessed. Results: Both groups demonstrated significant reductions in Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores after treatment (P<0.05), with the observation group showing a greater decrease (P<0.05). The observation group exhibited a significantly shorter recovery time (3.6±1.8 days vs. 4.2±2.5 days, P<0.05) and reported higher comfort levels and lower pain scores than the control group (P<0.05). The effective treatment rate was 97.68% in the observation group, significantly higher than the 82.56% observed in the control group (P<0.05). Inflammatory markers, including IL-6 and TNF-a, showed a significant reduction in the observation group. Conclusions: Combining MLD and abdominal breathing reduces postpartum perineal oedema effectively, alleviates pain, and enhances recovery. It also lowers inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-a) and increases IL-10, promoting faster healing and improved maternal comfort. |
