What to do if you have cesarean section incision pain

Before giving birth, women should pay attention to their emotions. Being too nervous at this time will not help the birth at all. Especially for women who are afraid of giving birth, they should pay more attention. Too much fear will cause difficulties when giving birth naturally, which is very harmful to the fetus. There are two methods of giving birth, natural birth and cesarean section are both good choices. What should I do if the incision of cesarean section hurts?

What to do if you have cesarean section incision 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.

The wound dressing should be changed frequently, the wound and its surrounding area 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.

After surgery, you should maintain a balanced nutrition. Eat more vegetables and fruits, lean meat, soy products and other foods rich in vitamins and minerals.

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

42 days after caesarean section, the new mother must go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. In addition, reduce sweating. When the body sweats, the scars will be 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.

After a caesarean section, women should pay attention to changes in their wounds. If severe pain, exudation, pus discharge, etc. occur, they must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

After understanding what to do if you have cesarean section incision pain, you should follow the above methods to improve this situation. However, the above methods need to be used in moderation. If the cesarean section incision pain is severe, you need to go to the hospital for examination to see if there is any infection. If so, it must be eliminated in time. This is also something that needs attention.
