What to do if the incision hurts after cesarean section

Caesarean section is a problem that every woman may encounter. When we encounter such a thing, we must protect our bodies well. Only by protecting the wound can we protect our bodies. Under many conditions, we will ignore our problems. After cesarean section, go to the hospital for regular check-ups, check the wounds, and protect your wounds.

This is normal. Everyone's physical condition is different. Some people get their period more than a month after giving birth, while others get it a year later. If you are breastfeeding, your period will come relatively later. Generally speaking, the incision from a cesarean section takes a long time to heal. If you suddenly feel pain or itching, you can check if you have eaten some foods that cause the pain, such as seafood, squid, etc.

Secondly, for the wound after cesarean section, you should pay attention to keeping the wound and the area around the wound dry and clean, and remove sweat from the wound in time. Sweat invading the wound will also cause itching and pain in the wound. After being discharged from the hospital, you should also pay attention to protecting the wound. Do not close the wound too soon after it scabs over, as this can easily cause pain in the wound. If the wound heals slowly, you can use Yu’s Wound Healing Recipe and other drugs that promote wound healing as an auxiliary treatment.

Third, it is best to lie on your side after surgery, which can reduce the pain caused by abdominal wall tension. If women are afraid of the pain that will come after the anesthesia wears off after surgery.

Fourth, if the wound is severely itchy and painful, avoid scratching the wound. You can apply some anti-itching drugs under the guidance of a doctor. If the wound is very painful and the new mother can't bear it, you can also take some painkillers orally under the guidance of a doctor.

Fifth, if the new mother’s wound becomes inflamed, it will also cause wound pain. If there is exudate or pus in the wound, the wound needs to be rinsed. At the same time, some anti-inflammatory and anti-infection drugs can be taken orally or injected intravenously.

The surgical incision after a cesarean section will form a scar in about 2 to 3 weeks. At this time, the wound tissue begins to proliferate, and the proliferation will gradually stop after about 3 to 6 months. 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.

Especially in summer, because the body sweats easily, scars are always soaked in sweat, and the salt in the sweat will stimulate the nerve endings of the scars, causing pain and itching. Weather changes can cause changes in temperature and wetness of the air, and the nerve endings in the scars can sense them keenly, causing pain and itching.

1. After the operation, it is best to adopt a slightly bent side-lying position, which can 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.

2. Change the dressing frequently, keep the wound and its surroundings dry and clean, and remove sweat 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.

3. 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.

After the operation, you can do some care, so that you can better protect your health, protect the wound and prevent infection.
