Throw away the pain of obstetric incision

Giving birth after ten months of pregnancy is supposed to be a very happy thing, but in order for the baby to be born healthily, an incision must be made on the beautiful belly, which is a cesarean section. There are many factors that cause cesarean sections, such as the umbilical cord around the neck, the fetus is too big, and other factors that require a cesarean section. Although cesarean sections will not affect your figure or cause the pelvis to widen, they will leave scars on the belly.

Pain after cesarean section

Causes of pain after cesarean section

The surgical incision after a caesarean section will form a scar in about two to three weeks. At this time, the animal's tissue begins to proliferate, and the proliferation will continue for about 3-6 months before gradually stopping. At this time, the scar will become soft. When a scar begins to proliferate, the area will appear red, purple, and harden. Because there are new nerve endings in the scar, the scar will feel itchy and painful, usually with tingling being the most obvious. Of course, improper wound care, wound inflammation, and external stimulation can also lead to symptoms of wound pain after cesarean section.

What to do if the wound hurts after cesarean section

First of all, the wound and its surroundings should be kept dry and clean, and sweat should be removed in time to avoid pain caused by sweat irritation. After being discharged from the hospital, protect the wound well and do not tear off the scar too early or privately, as this can easily cause wound pain.

It is best to adopt a slightly bent side-lying position after surgery to reduce the pain caused by abdominal wall tension. If a woman is afraid of the pain that will come after the anesthesia wears off after surgery, she can ask the anesthesiologist to add an analgesic pump.

If the pain is caused by wound infection, the wound needs to be treated with anti-inflammatory treatment. You can use iodine tincture to treat the wound every day and take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally at the same time. If the patient's wound cannot heal for a long time, wound-healing drugs such as Yu's Wound Healing Recipe can be used for treatment.

If the incision becomes itchy and painful, you can use some medications under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the pain or itching. After the stitches are removed, avoid excessive abdominal pressure and overstretching of the body.

Precautions

In addition, it is necessary to maintain a proper nutritional balance after surgery. Eat more vegetables and fruits, lean meat, soy products and other foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Maintain a good and positive attitude, so as to better avoid the pain of the wound after cesarean section and let the patient recover soon. May the new mother and baby be healthy and happy every day.
