What are the symptoms of cesarean section incision inflammation?

Women may choose to have a caesarean section when giving birth due to physical reasons, etc. Generally speaking, with current medical technology, it will not cause much harm to the mother, and it is nothing more than healing the wound. However, many mothers suffer from wound inflammation due to lack of experience and lack of special care from their families. So, what are the symptoms of cesarean section wound inflammation? How should it be treated correctly?

If the cesarean section incision becomes infected and inflamed, there will be more obvious symptoms. First, there will be symptoms such as redness, swelling, fever and pain at the incision. Secondly, there will be some abnormal secretions in the affected area due to the infection. As long as these symptoms appear, you should take them seriously and go to a professional hospital for examination in time. The doctor will treat it according to the patient's specific situation. If it is determined that it is caused by inflammation and infection, antibiotics should be used in time. Commonly used antibiotics for the treatment of this disease include: cephalosporin, amoxicillin, etc. The oral or intravenous treatment of these drugs is better. In order to improve the treatment effect, oral medications can be used in combination with topical antibiotic ointments.

In addition to active symptomatic treatment, patients with wound inflammation should also pay attention to dietary conditioning. They must not eat spicy and irritating foods, and try not to eat irritating foods, otherwise it will be detrimental to wound recovery. In particular, try not to touch foods such as chili peppers, mustard, crabs, and prawns. After cesarean section, you must actively prevent the symptoms of incision inflammation. Before the wound has recovered, you must avoid getting it wet, especially not taking a bath too early, and you cannot wear pants that require a belt to avoid local friction and cause wound infection and inflammation.

Patients who have already developed symptoms of inflammation of the cesarean section incision should pay attention to rest. They should not do strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor during this period, especially should not always bend over or do sit-ups, so as not to affect the recovery of the wound. They should take more walks in their daily lives. Walking more appropriately is good for promoting physical recovery, and maintaining a good attitude is good for the body's health.
