What is the reason for itching incision after gynecological surgery?

Whenever there is surgery, there will be incisions, especially at a special stage, that is, cesarean section. While nurturing the birth of a new life, you also have to bear the incisions on your body. The itching of the incisions proves that they are slowly healing and growing. Only in this way can the wound heal faster, and you can recover better and enter the next stage of your life in good health.

Itching of the incision after surgery indicates that the nerves damaged during the operation are growing in a self-repairing manner and the incision is healing.

This is a good sign, indicating that you will soon get better, haha.

Be careful not to scratch the incision to avoid infection. If the itching is really severe, you can use your fingernails (wash them clean, haha) 5 cm away from the incision to gently press and pinch it. It works well.

Some mothers will experience itching symptoms after a cesarean section, which means that your wound is still healing, but the healing of the outer skin does not mean that the internal tissue is completely healed. This is because some mothers have relatively weak recovery abilities. Why does this happen? Moreover, most cesarean section scars can be sutured quite beautifully, and some scars even look like just a light, short line. I believe many women have heard that horizontal incisions from cesarean sections look better, while vertical incisions are uglier. In fact, as long as there is a surgical wound, there will be scars, and vertical incisions will definitely not look good. If expectant mothers do not want ugly scars after childbirth, let Xingyuncao take you to understand the basic concepts of scar formation and prevention and treatment.

The process of scar formation: Once a wound appears on the skin, the human body will begin to heal automatically. There are two mechanisms for wound healing. If the wound is in the epidermis, the human body will produce the same cell tissue to fill it and no scar will be left. However, if the wound penetrates deep into the dermis, in order to prevent the wound from cracking, the skin will produce strong scar tissue to effectively connect the wound.

Within three to six months after an injury, scar tissue will continue to proliferate, which is called the proliferative phase. During this period, the human body will proliferate tiny blood vessels near the wound to supply nutrition to the scar tissue. Therefore, early scars look red and raised, and feel hard like a rope. If the healing process goes smoothly, the proliferative phase will be followed by the mature phase. Scars in the mature phase will become lighter, flatter and softer, and the average time is also three to six months. However, whether in the proliferative stage or the mature stage, scar tissue will continue to renew itself in response to the environment. It is not just a piece of flesh on the wound, but also a living, changing tissue. Therefore, the treatment of scars must be targeted at the cause and is not static.

The above are the reasons why the incision of gynecological surgical operation itches. There are many reasons for this. When you are in the hospital, you should pay more attention to the changes in your wound. It is good to pay more attention to it. It is very good for wound healing. Pay attention to your body, especially the changes in the incision, which is also helpful for recovery. Pay more attention to recovery and healing.
