How many days does the cesarean section incision usually hurt?

Generally speaking, mothers experience less pain during caesarean section, so many women who feel too much pain choose caesarean section. Although the pain is relatively small during childbirth, it will be more painful a few days after the operation, which makes many mothers feel that they do not want to have children from now on. Cesarean section is now a relatively complete surgical treatment. So, how many days does the pain from the cesarean section usually last?

How many days does the cesarean section incision usually hurt?

The pain from a cesarean section usually lasts about ten days, but it varies from person to person. After a cesarean section, pregnant women can usually get out of bed and move around on the third day, and will be hospitalized for stitches removal on the seventh day. However, most pregnant women will still feel pain in the wound during hospitalization, but it will not be as painful as when they just get out of bed. And because everyone's sensitivity to pain is different, the time when the wound will not hurt will also be different. But generally there will be some relief two weeks after the operation, and the pain will not be felt when the confinement period comes.

What to do if you have wound pain after cesarean section

1. Change the dressing frequently

After cesarean section, the wound should be frequently dressed, the wound and the surrounding area should be kept dry and clean, and sweat should be removed in time to avoid pain caused by sweat irritation. The wound should be well maintained after hospitalization, and the scar should not be torn off too early, which can easily cause wound pain.

2. Use a slightly bent side sleeping position

It is best to adopt a slightly bent side-lying position after a caesarean section, which can relieve the pain caused by the stretching of the abdominal support force. If the mother is worried about the pain caused by the ineffectiveness of anesthesia after the operation, the anesthesiologist can add an analgesic pump.

3. Distract

For post-cesarean section trauma pain, mothers can divert their attention and relieve pain by reading, listening to music, chatting, or other things they like.

Everyone's sensitivity to pain is different, so the number of days of pain after a cesarean section is also different. Mothers need to learn to be strong. If the wound hurts, try to change the dressing frequently, adopt a proper posture, use other methods to distract your attention, watch more videos, listen to more music, and it will feel better. Finally, I wish all mothers good physical and mental health.
