Can caesarean section not be sutured? Does the infected incision need to be sutured?
Some pregnant mothers find that it is not suitable for natural delivery and can only choose caesarean section. As the name implies, caesarean section refers to the mode of delivery in which the pregnant mother's abdomen is operated and then the fetus is taken out from the pregnant mother's uterus. Generally, caesarean section requires two knives, one in the abdomen and the other in the uterus. So can caesarean section be performed without stitches? Let's have a look.

Can caesarean section be performed without stitches? It takes about an hour to suture the wound during the whole caesarean section. Although the doctor only opened two knives, these two knives actually penetrated seven layers, so they had to be sewn one layer at a time. First, the doctor should sew the uterine incision into two layers, that is, the amniotic sac and the myometrium, then the peritoneum and abdominal muscles, and then the abdominal wall, that is, the muscle membrane, fat and skin. For some pregnant mothers with too much fat,

What makes many pregnant mothers uncomfortable during the implementation of caesarean section is the stage of sewing needles. Although there is no pain during anesthesia, although many times, pregnant mothers who are weak after delivery will feel very tired, and the discomfort of doctors during suture also makes pregnant mothers feel uncomfortable, so if physical conditions permit, it is better to choose a natural delivery as far as possible.

Pregnant mothers should pay more attention to bed rest after caesarean section and observe uterine contraction and vaginal bleeding. When you are exhausted after 6 hours, you can start eating some semi-liquid foods such as rice soup and noodle soup, and drink more water to promote urination. After caesarean section 12 hours, you can ask your family or nurses to help you turn over and move your legs. If your physical conditions permit, you can get out of bed and move the next day, which is good for your health.

With the improvement of modern anesthesia technology, the anesthesia effect in cesarean section is generally very good, and most parturients do not feel anything during the operation. If conditions permit, postoperative analgesia can be continued. However, even so, postoperative pain usually lasts for several days. Many parturients even feel uncomfortable within 24 hours after delivery because of pain, and dare not get up. Because of the inhibition of intestinal function after operation, the parturient can hardly eat within 24 hours after operation and can't have enough milk secretion. Therefore, lactation after cesarean section is later than natural delivery 1-2 days. Because of the need of surgery, a catheter is usually inserted, and continuous catheterization will increase the chance of urinary system infection.

Maintain balanced nutrition after operation. Traditionally, fruits and vegetables are cold and should not be eaten during confinement. In fact, foods rich in water and vitamins contribute to the healing of caesarean section wounds and can also prevent postpartum constipation. On the contrary, eating too much meat may lead to excessive scar proliferation and induce itching. So eat more fruits and vegetables, lean meat, bean products and other foods rich in vitamins and minerals after delivery.
