With the improvement of medical level, there are more and more ways for women to give birth. From the previous natural delivery to the later caesarean section, painless delivery and underwater delivery, it can be said that it is an epoch-making progress for women who have suffered from childbirth for thousands of years!
Of course, among these delivery methods, natural delivery and caesarean section are more common. As we all know, it is of great benefit to both the fetus and postpartum recovery. Many hospitals also recommend natural delivery when pregnant mothers are healthy.
But there are exceptions, such as pregnant women's mental state is not very good, or a series of pregnancy complications appear in the body. At this time, considering the life safety of the fetus and the mother, a relatively safe delivery method-caesarean section is generally adopted! It can be said that caesarean section is also a common mode of delivery besides natural delivery.
When a parturient adopts caesarean section, she may encounter a new problem, that is, whether to adopt "transverse cutting" or "vertical cutting"?
As we all know, in the process of caesarean section, the parturient should take a knife to cut a hole in the stomach, and the horizontal cutting and vertical cutting refers to a horizontal cutting and a vertical cutting. Some people may think that you have to cut a hole no matter how you cut it, so choose one. Actually, it's not. Cross-cutting and vertical cutting are like cutting a hole and taking the fetus out.
1, the transverse wound is more beautiful.
Crosscutting is to cut a knife edge horizontally. After the postpartum wound is healed, the scar will not be so obvious compared with the vertical cut. Even if you sometimes wear low-rise pants, it won't have much impact, but vertical cutting is not. After the vertical cut wound heals, it looks like an earthworm crawling on your stomach, which is very ugly. Therefore, pregnant mothers who love beauty may wish to choose crosscutting.
2. Less blood loss in crosscutting.
The transverse wound is generally about three or four centimeters above the pubic symphysis, and the length of the wound is generally about 10- 15 cm. When the knife cuts in, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are horizontal, but when it reaches the rectus abdominis, it enters the uterus in a longitudinal way and takes out the fetus. This way, the amount of bleeding is less. This is not the case with vertical cutting, which is used from beginning to end, so that the amount of bleeding will be slightly larger.
3. A vertical cut wound is unlikely to tear.
To put it simply, the transection wound is within the range of strong contraction and recovery of uterus, so it has great influence on the wound whether it is delivery or postpartum, while the vertical incision wound is just outside the range of uterine contraction, so the postpartum uterus recovery or contraction will not "hurt" the wound, and the possibility of causing wound tearing will be smaller, while the transection may be larger.
I told you these three differences. Do you have a more comprehensive understanding of the vertical and horizontal section of caesarean section? In fact, in my opinion, no matter which way is adopted, pregnant mothers who have caesarean section need to be carefully cultivated after delivery and recover as soon as possible in order to breastfeed their babies better.
