What should I do if the incision heals badly after caesarean section?
The wound on the skin surface of caesarean section will heal 6-7 days after operation, and the suture material on the skin surface can be taken out at this time. At present, most caesarean sections use absorbable sutures to treat skin surface wounds without taking them out.

About two to three weeks after the surgical incision is scarred, the scar begins to proliferate, and at this time it turns red, purple and hard, protruding on the skin surface. From three months to half a year, the proliferation of fibrous tissue gradually stopped, the scar gradually flattened and softened, and the color turned dark brown. The scar will itch at this time. Especially when you sweat a lot or the weather changes, it often itches until you scratch your blood. Therefore, among scar patients, there is a saying that pain is easy to bear and itching is unbearable. The correct treatment is to apply some topical drugs, such as triamcinolone acetonide, dexamethasone and so on, to relieve itching. Never scratch it with your hands, wipe it with clothes, or scald it with water. This will only aggravate local irritation, cause inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

As for the recovery of abdominal muscles and abdominal cavity uterus wounds, it takes longer, about a month. Therefore, when confinement, new mothers should avoid abdominal muscle exertion, especially lifting heavy objects. After the operation, the use of binding tape can help the new mother to increase the strength of abdominal muscles, reduce abdominal pain, make it easier and more convenient for the new mother to walk, and also promote the healing of abdominal muscles and uterine wounds.

Don't expose the scab on the knife edge prematurely? Premature exfoliation takes away epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, and even tears off dermal tissue, which stimulates the wound to itch. It is also necessary to avoid sunlight and prevent ultraviolet rays from stimulating pigmentation. Use physical therapy methods such as wax therapy and magnetic therapy to reduce scars.

Note: 1. Observe the healing of the wound. The obstetrician will routinely check the wound 3 days after operation. If the wound is not red, swollen, induration or exudation, and the parturient has no abnormal symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, she can be discharged 3 days after operation. 2. Maternal women should pay attention to whether there is pain or abnormal swelling in the wound after returning home, and pay attention to their body temperature and lochia. With the gradual contraction of the uterus, the amount of vaginal bleeding will gradually decrease, with bloody lochia lasting about 3 days, serous lochia lasting about 10 days and white lochia lasting about 3 weeks. Generally, lochia should be discharged 42 days after delivery. Care must be timely cleaning vulva, avoid bath, and keep warm when taking a bath, so as to avoid complications such as postoperative cold due to poor health.
