How long does it take for a caesarean section scar to heal?

Everyone knows that a caesarean section is to cut open the woman's belly, cut open the uterus, and take out the fetus. This type of operation is extremely harmful to women, and it takes a long time for the uterus to return to normal after a cesarean section. The scars left by a cesarean section may not disappear in a lifetime for some women with scar-prone constitutions. So, how long does it take for a cesarean section scar to recover?

A cesarean section is the process of removing the fetus by opening the uterus through the abdomen. Although it reduces the severe pain of the mother during childbirth, the fetus has not been squeezed through the birth canal, which can easily cause amniotic fluid inhalation, neonatal wet lung and sensory integration disorder; the operation will undoubtedly affect the body's recovery, and obvious scars will be left on the abdomen; and the chances of postoperative complications such as infection and dysmenorrhea are significantly higher than those of natural childbirth. In the future, contraception, abortion and re-pregnancy will be much more troublesome than for mothers who give birth naturally. If contraception fails and an artificial abortion is performed, the difficulty and risk of the operation will increase. If the pregnancy continues, there is a possibility of uterine scar rupture during pregnancy or delivery.

The trauma caused to women by caesarean section is almost inevitable. Most pregnant women who choose cesarean section do so when abnormalities occur, such as difficult labor, or because they are afraid of pain, and are forced to do so. This is a very critical situation that directly threatens the life and health of mother and baby. Everyone loves beauty, but for women, the scars left after a caesarean section are even more difficult for them to let go. Many new mothers who love beauty are very concerned about the question "How long does it take for a cesarean section wound to heal?" Generally speaking, due to the large area of ​​the surgical wound during cesarean section, the stitches or skin clips of the epidermal wound can be removed 5 to 7 days after the operation, and there will be no obvious pain for about ten days. However, it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the uterine incision to fully heal.

Sweetheart reminder: The time to remove stitches from abdominal surgery depends on the recovery of the wound and the patient's physical condition. If the wound is well positioned, there is no local redness or swelling, and no abnormal secretions, the stitches can be removed after 7 days. If the patient is overweight, the stitch removal can be postponed for 1-2 days to avoid adverse consequences such as wound liquefaction. If there is abnormal secretion on the skin, the stitches should be removed immediately and the wound should be re-sutured after sufficient drainage. The wound can also be closed with wing-shaped tape. If you have your stitches removed, don't rush to take a shower. Wait until the wound has completely fallen off.
