How to carry out wound care after childbirth?

1. Keep it clean and dry to prevent infection: Do not wet your skin within a week after returning home to prevent the wound from getting wet; the breathable tape applied to the wound during hospitalization can be removed after a week and you can take a shower; once the wound becomes partially red, swollen, hot, cracked, or has purulent secretions, or has a fever, you must go to the hospital for a physical examination as soon as possible.

2. Move less and do not lift any hanging objects. When you get home, rest as much as possible, but also wake up regularly and walk around. Walking can promote postoperative recovery and help prevent complications such as venous thrombosis. Just don't move too much. You can go slower at the beginning and gradually increase the amount of exercise.

3. Gently massage the wound with your fingers for 3-5 minutes every day to effectively reduce the formation of scars. Avoid direct exposure of the wound to the sun to aggravate the scar tone. During the wound healing period, the wound may experience itching. Do not use your hands to relieve the itching to avoid aggravating the local irritation. The itching sensation of scars generally subsides with time.

4. If the wound still shows no signs of healing several weeks after the cesarean section, you need to go to the hospital for immediate examination. If the postpartum wound does not heal due to fat liquefaction or long-term wound inflammation, it can be treated with a panacea such as the Shi Shoubian Fang that promotes wound healing.
