How long is the proliferative period after cesarean section

Some women do not meet the conditions for normal delivery during childbirth, so they will choose caesarean section. It takes some time to recover after caesarean section. At this time, you must take good care of your body so that the caesarean section wound can heal as soon as possible. After the wound heals after caesarean section, the next is the wound proliferation period. So how long is the proliferation period after caesarean section?

How long does the proliferative period last after a cesarean section?

The recovery of the incision after cesarean section mainly includes the inflammatory phase, proliferative phase and maturation phase. These three stages are both independent and overlapping. The proliferative period is an important stage. Generally, the incision begins to proliferate 24-48 hours after the operation. The main pathological feature is the proliferation of epithelial cells and fibroblasts, as well as the formation of subcutaneous capillaries and the promotion of new capillary branch growth. The most important thing is that granulation tissue also begins to proliferate, mainly to repair the wound. In clinical work, if you want to inhibit the growth of scars, you need to start treatment during the proliferative phase. It mainly involves the use of some cosmetic medical products, such as biological agents or biological factors, which can inhibit the proliferation of scars, which is very good for the beauty and recovery of postoperative incisions. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use medical cosmetic products to beautify the incisions about 2-3 days after the operation. This will allow for early intervention and prevent the formation of incision scars.

How long will the caesarean section growth period last?

1. The surgical scar on the abdomen of a woman after a cesarean section will go through a period of proliferation. For most women who have undergone cesarean section, the proliferation period lasts for 3 to 6 months. Scar proliferation will slowly stop after 6 months. Then, over time, the abdominal incision will harden and gradually become muscular. This process also takes more than a year, or even two years.

2. Every woman who has a cesarean section has her own individual differences, and the size of the surgical scar left behind by women with different physiques will also vary greatly, so there will also be obvious differences in the length of the scar hyperplasia period. For some women, scar hyperplasia lasts for a shorter period of time, but for some women it may last for more than 6 months. However, if there is no obvious redness, swelling, pain or other abnormal phenomena in the scar area, no special treatment is required.
