Due to differences in personal physiques, everyone’s scars after a caesarean section are also different. However, some women still worry about whether there is a problem with their knife handle, so will the normal caesarean section scar adapt to it or be soft? Let me answer it for you below. Is a normal caesarean section scar hard or soft?
The problem of scars has a lot to do with your own body constitution. Please pay attention to the following points: 1. Do not get the wound wet or dirty before it heals. If it gets wet, you must dry it immediately and apply On Betadine.
2. After surgery, the doctor will apply cosmetic glue to the wound, and then cover the cosmetic glue with gauze. The gauze can be removed after 4 days, or it must be removed immediately when it is wet. The cosmetic glue will be removed after about a week. Tear off and replace with ventilation tape.
3. After showering, you can tear off all the tape on the wound. After drying the wound (no need to apply medicine), use 2 strips of 3M breathable paper tape, 2.5 cm wide, to stick it along the wound.
4. The breathable paper tape must be flat and close to the wound to compress the scar to prevent it from widening and thickening. It should be replaced every 3 to 4 days. It can be exposed to water. After being exposed to water, use a dry towel to dry the surface. , just apply one layer after the full moon and last for 3 to 6 months.
5. If you have allergies when using breathable paper tape, such as rash, redness, or broken skin, do not use it temporarily and continue to use it after improvement.
6. During the hospitalization after caesarean section, you can consult the doctor according to your own situation. Silicone gel products can be used to promote the maturity of scars and prevent further scar growth.
7. Gently massage the wound with your fingers for 3 to 5 minutes every day to reduce scarring.
8. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to the wound, which will deepen the color of the scar.
9. If the abdominal wound has redness, swelling, burning, severe pain, exudation, etc., please return to the hospital for treatment.
10. Avoid pulling on the wound and do postpartum exercises after the full moon. What should I do if the caesarean section scar grows inside?
After caesarean section, about two to three weeks after the surgical incision becomes scarred, the scar begins to proliferate. At this time, the local area becomes red, purple, hard, and protrudes from the skin surface, which lasts for about three months to half a year. , the fibrous tissue proliferation gradually stops, the scar gradually becomes flat and soft, and the color turns into dark brown.
This is a symptom of caesarean section scar hyperplasia. If a mother notices the above symptoms in her caesarean section scar two to three weeks after delivery, it means caesarean section scar hyperplasia. At this time, pregnant women should eat more fruits, eggs, lean meats, meat skins and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids.
Because these foods can promote blood circulation and improve the metabolic function of the epidermis, they can help mothers prevent and treat caesarean section scar hyperplasia and kill caesarean section scar hyperplasia in the cradle. After a caesarean section, if the mother finds any symptoms of infection at the incision, she must go to the hospital in time to allow the wound to heal as quickly as possible, which will also help the recovery of the caesarean section scar.
