Results Five days after delivery, the Class-A healing rate of the chinese medicine treatment group was 100%, while the Class-A healing rate of the control group was 82%,and the Class-B healing rate of the control group was 18%. Compared with the effect of the control group,the treatment effect of the treatment group was statistically significant (P<0.01). Similarly,the edema,pain subsided time for the treatment group,compared with that of the control group,the difference was significant.
