Care of Cesarean Section Wounds

Many female friends are unable to give birth naturally due to various factors, so they choose to have a cesarean section. However, after the cesarean section, a wound that is difficult to remove will be left. This wound will become larger over time, which will affect the appearance and even cause health problems. So let us learn about the care of cesarean section wounds.

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 from the incision too early after surgery. Removing the scab too early and forcibly will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate itching of the wound;

2. Avoid sunlight to prevent ultraviolet rays from stimulating pigmentation;

3. Apply some topical medications such as Fuqingsong, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching;

4. 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 peppers, onions and garlic;

5. If you want scars to disappear completely and restore your skin to its original appearance, you need to use scar removal products to achieve ideal results.

6. 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.

7. After the scars and scabies are removed, silicone care dressings such as Mepiform should be used immediately to prevent scar hyperplasia, prevent scar hyperplasia and protrusions, increase pigmentation, and affect appearance. If the scars are long-term, they can also be treated with it to remove hyperplasia, dissipate pigments, etc.
