How long does it take to cut the incision?

When women choose a cesarean section, they need to pay attention to this method of delivery. It is crucial for the body to recover after the choice. Many women's bodies have not recovered after a cesarean section, which causes them to have many problems. This is very harmful to the female body, so this should also be noted. How long should the incision last for a cesarean section? The following will introduce this type of problem in detail so that women can have more understanding of such issues.

How long should the incision be kept after obstetric surgery?

Since the cesarean section wound is relatively large, the epidermal wound can heal within 5-7 days after the operation. However, full recovery takes approximately 4-6 weeks. Generally, the wound will become a red scar in about a year and a half. It will feel hard and itchy on cloudy and rainy days. This is a chronic inflammation in the wound healing process. After a year and a half, it will basically turn into a white, soft scar. If the mother does not have a scar-prone constitution and recovers well after the operation, it will basically not be noticeable.

How to promote cesarean section wound healing

Do not get your skin wet within a week after returning home to prevent the wound from being soaked. The breathable tape applied to the wound when you are discharged from the hospital can be removed after one week and you can take a shower. Once the wound shows local redness, swelling, heat, cracking, or purulent secretions, or if there is a whole body fever (even if your wound looks good), you must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Secondly, try to get as much rest as possible when you get home, but also get up regularly and walk around. Walking can speed up recovery after surgery and help prevent complications such as blood clots, as long as the activity is not excessive. Start slowly and gradually increase the amount of activity.

Third, if you want the wound to heal as quickly as possible, you should first pay attention to wound care. While caring for the wound, you can use medicines such as Yu’s Wound Healing Recipe to help the wound heal as quickly as possible.

After understanding how long the incision of a cesarean section lasts, women need to pay attention to their diet after a cesarean section. At this time, women cannot choose their diet at will, and should mainly eat liquid food. This will not only help the incision to recover, but it also has a good effect on improving all aspects of the body. Women should pay attention to this after giving birth.
