Caesarean section wound recovery and repair

Many female friends need to have a cesarean section during childbirth due to malposition of the fetus and some fetal problems. A cesarean section is a type of surgery that requires surgery. This surgery is extremely damaging to the pregnant woman and it is not easy to recover after delivery. Next, let us learn about the recovery of cesarean section wounds.

How to prevent unsightly scars after a cesarean section

Medical research has long confirmed that pressure is the best way to prevent scar proliferation. As long as the scar is compressed during the proliferation period to prevent it from bulging and thickening, the scar maturation can be accelerated. However, this pressure must be even and continuous, and the sooner it is used, the better. For surgically sutured wounds, applying pressure with cosmetic tape is a simple and convenient option.

In order to get better, many mothers often follow the advice of relatives and friends or believe in exaggerated and false advertisements, and apply so-called scar removal creams and other medicines. In fact, these things have no real therapeutic effect. If effective and lasting pressure is not applied during the wound suturing period, it will be too late by the time scars are formed. Therefore, if you do not want to leave ugly postpartum scars, prevention is better than cure and is the most important principle.

How to beautify scars

What should I do if ugly scars have already formed? There are many seemingly good treatments on the market, such as not eating soy sauce, laser scar removal, dermabrasion, fruit acid peels, etc. In fact, re-surgery is the most effective way to solve unsightly scars.

Because only surgery can change the culprit that causes ugly scars - tension. Other methods such as laser can shrink immature scar blood vessels, accelerate scar maturation, and eliminate scar redness and swelling, but they cannot remove scars or reduce the scar area. Carbon dioxide lasers can vaporize scar tissue, but as mentioned earlier, scars are living tissue. Dermabrasion, like carbon dioxide laser treatment, may be able to temporarily smooth out raised scars, but this secondary injury will cause the scar tissue to rebound more violently, which is counterproductive. As for fruit acid peeling, it can only improve some shallow scars, and the effect is not significant.

In the article, we learned about the recovery of cesarean section wounds. First of all, because everyone's physical condition is different, everyone can use relevant methods to treat it, especially paying attention to daily diet conditioning and food quantification after cesarean section.
