Conditions

post-episiotomy pain

Interventions

TEAS group:TEAS, acupoint nerve electrical stimulator, with a density wave of 2/100Hz, the intensity of the current is taken as the patients maximum tolerance minus 1mA for electrical stimulation for
control group:Group C parturients take the same acupoints at the same time and paste electrode pads and connect them to a neural electrical stimulator. The same operation is performed, but no electric
