How to recover from cesarean section wound

Many of our mothers are pregnant for ten months and then give birth. Many mothers cannot give birth directly due to physical reasons and need to undergo a caesarean section. The pain that caesarean section brings to mothers is very great. Many mothers often faint from the pain and often need anesthesia for this. However, a caesarean section requires making a cut in the abdomen, which will leave a large wound. So how to deal with the wound after a caesarean section? Let us follow the article to learn about wound treatment.

Recovery method:

1. Good hygiene care should be done after the operation, because the mother's resistance is low after cesarean section. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to cause infection. If the wound is infected, it will of course affect the recovery of the wound and the effect after recovery. The most common thing is that there will be raised scars after infection and inflammation. In addition to daily washing, the perineal pad should be replaced in time, and sanitary products should be disinfected and replaced frequently. Do not take a shower before the stitches are removed, but you can take a sponge bath. When the wound is almost healed, remember not to remove the scab formed on the wound too early.

2. It is best to avoid using pain medicine after giving birth: pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound: it is better to rest in a semi-recumbent position, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound. Jinsha Guoji Women's Hospital has many professional gynecologists. It is best to go to that hospital for consultation. The doctor will give some advice and dietary adjustments based on your situation.

3. Regardless of whether the caesarean section wound is sutured with nails or iron clips, and whether the stitches need to be removed or not, it will normally heal smoothly within a week, preventing external moisture and bacteria from entering the body through the wound.

Within seven days after delivery, do not allow the wound to come into contact with a large amount of moisture. It is recommended to use a sponge bath instead of a shower. Usually after surgery, the wound is sutured and disinfected, and covered with gauze to protect it. However, for a wound to heal well, it is not necessary to keep it completely dry. Rather, keeping the wound moist is conducive to wound healing.

Biogel patches can be used to seal the wound to maintain a reasonable humidity, which is conducive to activating growth factors and stimulating the growth of granulation tissue and the proliferation of epidermal cells. In addition, the frequency of dressing changes can be reduced to reduce wound exposure and avoid increasing the risk of infection.

However, if the wound is red, swollen, hot, painful, or has secretions, it means there is inflammation and you must return to the hospital where you gave birth to see a doctor as soon as possible.

When the wound heals successfully, people hope that the healed scar can be more beautiful or even less obvious. Using scar removal products can reduce the tension on the wound and the formation of scar tissue. In this way, the wound is less likely to have raised scars.
