We know that when women are pregnant and giving birth, they not only have to deal with pain, but also physical changes, such as body deformation, stretch marks, etc. This includes both natural births and cesarean sections. Natural births often cause the vaginal opening to open too much and lead to relaxation, while cesarean sections will leave obvious scars on the abdomen. Some wounds heal quickly, while others heal slowly. This is the most troublesome thing for mothers. Of course, there are also various misunderstandings in the process of eliminating them. Caesarean section scars are marks left on the wound after surgery. They are generally white or grayish white, smooth and hard. About two to three weeks after the surgical incision has healed, the scar begins to grow, and the area becomes red, purple, hardened, and protrudes from the skin surface. There are new nerve endings in the scar, but they are disorganized. Misconception 1: The scabby incision is itchy and ugly, so it is better to remove it as soon as possible! For the sake of appearance and because of itching and stinging, some mothers often manually remove the scab on the incision after surgery, believing that this can promote wound healing. In fact, this is completely wrong. Mothers should not remove the scabs on the incisions too early, otherwise it will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, or even tear off the dermal tissue, stimulating itching of the wound, worsening the wound, and leaving obvious scars. Makes scars uglier. Misconception 2: Go to the drugstore to buy some topical medication to relieve itching! Mothers should not apply any medication casually to avoid causing allergies. Especially for new mothers who are breastfeeding, inappropriate medications will affect the secretion of milk and thus endanger the health of the baby. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and, under the guidance of a doctor, choose some ointments that you are not allergic to to reduce itching. Such as Fuleqing, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc., with the help of drugs, the discomfort at the wound can be reduced. Myth 3: Ugly scars are so ugly that you don’t even want to look at them! Mothers should always pay attention to and take good care of scars: keep the wound and surrounding skin clean and cool: do not use hot water when cleaning, keep it breathable; wipe off sweat in time in summer to prevent sweat from irritating the wound; prevent the wound from freezing in winter and maintain normal blood circulation. This will help the wound heal faster. As mentioned above, there are various misunderstandings in the process of eliminating scars left by cesarean sections. The scabs should not be removed too early, and plasters should not be abused. Of course, it is better not to ignore it. It is still necessary to use some mild medicines under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, spicy food should be avoided, and more fruits and other foods rich in vitamins E and C should be eaten. Combined with certain exercises and massages, the scars can be slowly reduced. |
