How to do the wound pain after caesarean section?
After caesarean section, the incision will scar after about 2~3 weeks. At this time, the tissue of the wound will begin to proliferate, and the proliferation will gradually stop after about 3 to 6 months. At this time, the scar will soften. When the scar begins to proliferate, it will appear red, purple and hard locally. Because there are new nerve endings in the scar, the scar will be itchy and painful, and the general sting is the most obvious.
Especially in summer, because the body is prone to sweating, scars are always infiltrated by sweat, and the salt in sweat will stimulate the nerve endings of scars, causing pain and itching. Changes in weather will lead to changes in the temperature difference between hot and cold air and dry and wet air, and nerve endings in scars can also be keenly felt, as well as pain and itching.
There are several ways to relieve the pain after caesarean section:
First, it is best to take a slightly flexed lateral position after surgery, which can alleviate the pain caused by abdominal wall tension. If women are afraid of the pain caused by postoperative anesthesia failure, they can ask the anesthesiologist to increase the analgesia pump.
Second, change the dressing frequently, keep the wound and its surroundings dry and clean, and sweat in time to avoid pain caused by sweat stimulation. Protect the wound after discharge, and don't tear off the scar prematurely, which may easily lead to wound pain.
Third, if the incision itches, you can use some drugs to relieve the pain or itching under the guidance of a doctor. After removing stitches, avoid excessive abdominal pressure and excessive stretching.
Fourth, maintain a proper nutritional balance after surgery. Eat more vegetables and fruits, lean meat, bean products and other foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
42 days after caesarean section, the new mother must go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. After caesarean section, women should pay attention to the changes of the wound. If there is severe pain, exudation and pus, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Treatment of incision itching in caesarean section
In order to better cope with the symptoms of cesarean section itching, we must first understand the causes of cesarean section itching, so as to take the correct treatment.
Causes of incision itching after caesarean section: Generally speaking, incision itching after caesarean section is a normal physiological phenomenon, and new blood vessels and nerves will inevitably grow connective tissue. These new blood vessels and nerves are particularly dense. When everyone is crowded together, the new nerves are easily stimulated. Because the nerves are very sensitive, they will feel itchy. Because of the poor regeneration ability of nerve tissue, generally speaking, when the nerve grows well, it is also the time when the wound grows well.
Therefore, as long as you can bear it, you generally don't need to do any special treatment, especially to avoid scratching wounds and scalding with hot water, which will only aggravate local irritation, make connective tissue produce inflammatory reaction, aggravate itching and even cause infection. It really itches. You can gently rub the wound and use some antipruritic drugs.
Matters needing attention
Itching is a necessary process for wound healing. It's normal to feel itchy, because skin cells are repairing wounds, so mothers don't have to worry too much. If the incision after caesarean section continues to itch, and the wound can't heal for a long time, it can be treated with drugs such as "Shoukoufang" to reduce inflammation and swelling, and promote granulation to heal the oral cavity. Besides, we should have a regular life, go to bed early and get up early, be in a good mood, exercise moderately, and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and mushrooms. Don't eat meat, soup and spicy food for the time being, so as not to stimulate scar tissue proliferation. As long as you do well, your condition will obviously improve.
