What to do if the incision hurts after cesarean section

More and more women choose cesarean section when giving birth, believing that it is safe. However, some women experience incision pain after cesarean section, so they want to fully understand what to do. The following is a specific answer. For many women who experience incision pain after cesarean section, you can have a comprehensive understanding.

The scar hyperplasia period lasts about three months to half a year. The proliferation of fibrous tissue gradually stops and the scar gradually becomes flatter and softer. The color turns into dark brown, and the scar will become painful and itchy, especially the tingling itching is the most obvious. Especially when sweating a lot or the weather changes, the tingling itching is often felt to the extent that the scar epidermis must be scratched and bleeding.

The human body sweats. Sweat is composed of water, salt, protein and urea. When you sweat, the scars become soaked with sweat. The salt in the sweat will stimulate the nerve endings inside the scars, causing pain and itching. When the weather changes, the temperature difference and the changes in dryness and wetness are much stronger than usual. The nerve endings in the scar can sensitively detect such changes and use itching and pain as signals.

1. Do not remove the scab on the incision too early after surgery. Removing the scab too early and forcefully will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, or even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate itching of the wound.

2. Apply some topical medications such as Fuqingsong, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching.

3. Avoid sunlight to prevent ultraviolet stimulation and pigmentation.

4. Improve your diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal metabolism. Avoid eating spicy foods such as chili peppers, onions and garlic.

5. Keep the scar clean and hygienic, wipe off sweat in time, do not scratch it with your hands, rub the scar with clothes or use water to relieve itching, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

Through the above detailed introduction, I believe that many women who suffer from cesarean section incision pain have fully understood what to do about cesarean section incision pain. After fully understanding, for your own health, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to see what causes it? Then treat the symptoms. I believe that the cesarean section incision pain can be relieved as soon as possible through treatment.
