Why is the cesarean section incision hard?

Childbirth is a hurdle that women face, as it may pose risks to their lives. However, modern medicine has made rapid progress and is now able to control childbirth risks very well, thereby increasing women's survival rates. For example, the method of giving birth by cesarean section is very suitable for women and can minimize the harm caused by childbirth to women. But why is the incision hard after a cesarean section?

The problem of hard cesarean section wound occurs in many women who undergo cesarean section. This is a relatively common phenomenon and generally there is no need to worry about it. Usually, the hardness of the cesarean section wound will improve over time, and after a few months, the cesarean section wound will become soft. However, if there is a bulge on your cesarean section wound, this needs to be taken seriously. This may be caused by scar hyperplasia. At this time, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

Post-cesarean section recovery exercises

1. Abdominal exercises. Lie flat on the bed with your legs bent, cross your hands on your abdomen, lift your upper body while inhaling, and then exhale to return to the lying position. Repeat 5-10 times. This exercise can be started on the fifth day after natural delivery or 4-6 weeks after caesarean section to strengthen the tone of the rectus abdominis muscle.

2. Exercises for the buttocks, waist and back. Lie flat on the bed with your legs bent and your hands on both sides of your body. While taking a deep breath, tighten and lift your hips as much as possible, then slowly exhale and lower your hips to return to the original position. This movement can strengthen the gluteal muscles and lower back muscles.

3. Perineum exercises. Lie flat on the bed, bend your legs, hang in the air, and spread them apart. Hold your knees with your hands and bring them close to your body while contracting your anus. Then spread your legs apart and place them on the bed, and relax your anus. Repeat this 5-10 times.

4. You can contract your anus and hold your urine at any time in bed, 30 to 50 times a day, to promote the recovery of pelvic floor muscle tension.
