How long after caesarean section can I swim

Cesarean section is a surgical method of delivery. Currently, many people choose this method of delivery because it is more convenient and many people are very worried about pain. Cesarean section can immediately help them avoid pain. Therefore, many women want to choose Cesarean section as their best method of delivery. How long after a caesarean section can I go swimming?

1. Swimming is a good way to maintain health. In addition, for new mothers who have just given birth, swimming can also help them lose some of the fat, which is very helpful for weight loss. Therefore, it is recommended that many pregnant women choose swimming to restore their body shape after giving birth. However, for pregnant women who have just had a cesarean section, it is best to go swimming after three months.

2. The greatest damage caused by cesarean section is at the uterus. There will be a scar of about ten centimeters at the uterus. It is extremely difficult to repair this scar. Because when suturing the wound during cesarean section, it takes about seven layers of sutures. A scar of about 70% will take a long time to repair. Therefore, it is better to wait until it is completely healed before going swimming.

3. For most people, the scar has almost healed within 70 days after the cesarean section, but the scar healing process is different for each person. Some people heal their scars faster, while others heal them slower. If you go swimming for a long time before the scar has recovered, it may cause bacterial infection.

There are two key factors to determine whether a scar has healed. The first factor is to see whether the scar has healed and whether it is painful to touch. The second reason to determine whether a scar has healed is to observe the swelling of the scar to see if there is any hyperplasia. You can also see a doctor for a B-ultrasound test, which can show the healing condition of the scar. If the scar is healed well, it is completely fine to go swimming, which can strengthen the body and is very beneficial for pregnant women who have just given birth.
