Will the wound after cesarean section split open?

Everyone should know about cesarean sections. Many women choose cesarean sections when giving birth. Caesarean sections can avoid the pain during childbirth, but cesarean sections also have disadvantages. Women will feel pain after cesarean sections, and sometimes problems will occur if the wound is not well cared for. So will the wound inside the cesarean section split?

Will the wound after cesarean section split open?

The cesarean section wound may open. Wound tearing after cesarean section is also a common problem. Many women will experience suture rupture after surgery, or the wound that had been healed will crack again. Therefore, the cesarean section wound may split.

What are the factors that lead to cesarean section wound dehiscence?

Lie flat on your back, because after a cesarean section, as the effect of anesthesia gradually wears off, pain in the incision will occur, and the pain of uterine contraction is most sensitive in the supine position, so you should lie on your side with your body at an angle of 20-30 degrees to the bed, and put a quilt or blanket behind your back to reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the incision when your body moves.

Do not move. After the sensation is restored after the operation, you should do limb activities. After 24 hours, you should practice turning over, sitting up, and get out of bed and move slowly. This is because only when the intestines are moved can they move, and only when the intestines are moved can they pass gas, and only when the gas is passed can you eat slowly. Only after resuming your diet can you eat some milk-producing foods to allow further milk secretion. This helps the mother to recover her physical strength, promotes urination and defecation, promotes the discharge of lochia, and prevents intestinal adhesion and thrombosis that may cause embolism in other parts of the body.

Not daring to urinate or defecate. After a cesarean section, due to the pain, the mother is afraid to exert force on her abdomen, and cannot urinate or defecate in time, which can easily cause urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, after the operation, the mother should urinate or defecate in time according to her usual habits, drink more water, flush the urethra, and prevent infection, but don't drink too much. When you feel some bladder pain, you should urinate.

Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited if lochia has not yet cleared or within 42 days after delivery, as the wound in the uterus has not yet completely healed. If you forget the "martial law" for the sake of momentary pleasure, it is easy to cause postpartum infection or even adverse consequences such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. For mothers whose lochia clears early, they must take reliable contraceptive measures when resuming sexual life, because pregnancy in the postpartum period is also common and should be taken seriously.
