What are the causes of cesarean section scar hyperplasia?

After giving birth by caesarean section, if the wound is not properly cared for, scar hyperplasia is very likely to occur. In order to solve the problem of scar hyperplasia, there are many methods currently available, such as local subcutaneous injections. In severe cases, surgical treatments are available. In addition, there are high-tech laser treatments. However, women are reminded that after a caesarean section, the most important thing is to prevent scar hyperplasia. So what are the main causes of caesarean section scar hyperplasia?

Causes of cesarean section scar hyperplasia:

After a cesarean section, a smooth, hard white scar will be left on the woman's abdominal incision, which will slowly shrink as the wound heals. However, if the care is not done properly, it will cause the cesarean section scar to grow. Cesarean section scar hyperplasia is a phenomenon in which the incision protrudes from the skin surface and becomes red, purple, and hardened about half a month after the mother has undergone a cesarean section. The hyperplasia of cesarean section scars will last for about three months to six months. The hyperplasia of fibrous tissue will gradually stop, and the scars will gradually become flatter and softer, and the color will turn dark brown. Let’s take a look at the causes of cesarean section scar hyperplasia.

The main reasons for cesarean section scar hyperplasia are the individual physique of the mother and the tension of the wound, or infection caused by improper wound treatment. After a caesarean section, the scar on the mother's abdomen will initially be slightly bulging and swollen, and the color will be darker than normal skin color, appearing bright red. Currently, most caesarean sections are performed through a lower transverse incision, which means that the scar is a horizontal scar along the bikini line (the edge of the female pubic hair growth area). The mother should pay special attention to caring for the wound on her abdomen. Within 6 weeks after the operation, the cesarean section scar will shrink significantly. The surgical incision for cesarean section is only 10.2 to 15.2 cm long and 0.32 cm wide. As the incision site heals, the scar will narrow to 0.2 cm wide.

After a cesarean section, if the mother finds any symptoms of infection at the incision, she must go to the hospital in time to avoid the hyperplasia of the cesarean section scar.

Caesarean section scars generally refer to the marks left on the wound after surgery. They are usually white or grayish white, and feel smooth and hard. About two to three weeks after the surgical incision has healed, the scar begins to grow, and the area becomes red, purple, hardened, and protrudes from the skin surface. There are new nerve endings in the scar, but they are disorganized.

After a cesarean section, or C-section, the scar on the abdomen will initially be slightly raised and swollen, and darker than normal, appearing to be bright red. Currently, most caesarean sections are performed through a lower transverse incision, which means that the scar is a horizontal scar along the bikini line (the edge of the female pubic hair growth area).
