What to do if the cesarean section incision is red

As our living standards continue to improve, many women always over-nourish during pregnancy, which leads to an over-large fetus. When choosing a delivery method, they have to undergo a cesarean section. However, cesarean section is also very harmful to the body, and the healing of the wound after the operation is also very worthy of attention. Many people always have red cesarean section incisions due to physical reasons, but if we can take better care of the incisions, we can get a good improvement. Let us understand what to do if the cesarean section incision is red.

What to do if the cesarean section incision is red

After a long-term investigation, it was found that some women do not pay attention to scar care, and special precautions are given to female friends:

1. Do not remove the scab on the incision too early after surgery. Removing the scab too early and forcefully will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, or even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate itching of the wound.

2. Avoid sunlight to prevent ultraviolet stimulation and pigmentation.

3. Improve your diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal metabolism. Avoid eating spicy foods such as chili peppers, onions and garlic.

4. Keep the scar clean and hygienic, wipe off sweat in time, do not scratch it with your hands, rub the scar with clothes or use water to relieve itching, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching. When the wound is just healing, there will be some secretions, which is the best place for bacteria to grow. At this time, the epidermis of the wound is not clean enough, which can easily cause infection and ulceration. During this time, it can be cleaned with a neutral detergent.

5. Scars cannot be completely removed, but prevention can prevent excessive scar growth and restore them to a very light line. Therefore, after a caesarean section, consult your doctor and apply some topical silicone gel to promote scar maturation and prevent scar hyperplasia. When using scar prevention products, make sure the wound is healed, dry and intact before use.

6. Carry out prevention in the early stage. Pay attention to the methods of preventing scar formation from the beginning, and be prepared to prevent scar formation at every stage.

The above is an introduction to what to do if the cesarean section incision becomes red. Many women unconsciously put all their experiences on their babies after giving birth, thus neglecting their own health and the recovery of the incision. In order to prevent the cesarean section incision from becoming red, you must maintain good living habits and hygiene after the operation, and eat more light and nutritious foods.
