How to relieve the pain from cesarean section scar?

If a caesarean section is used during childbirth, a wound will be left in the lower abdomen. Generally speaking, there will be a little pain when caring for the cesarean section wound. If the pregnant mother knows how to relieve it, it can help herself.

How to reduce pain after cesarean section

1. Body position: The best body position after cesarean section is the side-lying position with legs slightly bent. This position can completely relax the abdominal muscles and relieve 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.

2. Change the dressing and clean the wound frequently. The mother should pay attention to keeping the wound and the surrounding skin dry and clean, and wipe off the sweat on the abdomen in time to avoid pain caused by sweat stimulation or unnecessary infection. 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.

3. Divert attention. Reading books, listening to your favorite music, chatting with your lover or best friends, watching some comedy movies, going for a walk outdoors, breathing fresh air, and thinking about things that make you happy are all good ways to relieve postpartum incision pain.

4. Avoid overuse of the abdomen, such as when getting up from bed, try not to pull your abdomen.
