Scars can't be completely eliminated, so they can only be diluted and repaired.
There is no wound healing without scar, and scar is an inevitable product in the process of human wound repair. The production and deposition of collagen in scar tissue increases the strength of wound, which is beneficial in medicine. At present, there are many methods of scar repair. According to the principle of scar formation, it is impossible to completely return to the previous state, but it can be repaired and faded.
Scar is the inevitable product of human trauma repair, which is formed by abnormal collagen metabolism and abnormal cell arrangement.
In other words, there is no healing without scars. After caesarean section, the child was born from the incision of mommy. On the basis of suture, the wound also has the function of automatic healing, which is the same as cutting a hole in our hand. However, because the cesarean section wound is large, the arrangement and combination of skin cells change to repair the wound, so a scar is left on our stomach.
The main component of scar tissue is fibrin. The production and deposition of collagen in scar tissue increases the strength of the wound, which is beneficial in general. At present, there are still many methods to remove scars. Strictly speaking, it is impossible to completely return to the previous state. But it can be diluted to increase the aesthetic appearance and improve the physical and mental health index of scar patients.
Causes of scar hyperplasia in cesarean section
The main causes of scar hyperplasia in caesarean section are the physical condition of the parturient and the tension of the wound, or the infection caused by improper treatment of the wound. After caesarean section, the scar on the abdomen of the parturient will swell and slightly bulge at first, which is darker than normal skin color and looks bright red. Nowadays, caesarean section is mostly a lower transverse incision, which means that your scar is a transverse scar along the bikini line (referring to the edge of the female pubic hair growth area). Maternal women should pay special attention to nursing abdominal wounds. Within 6 weeks after operation, the scar of caesarean section will be significantly reduced. The incision of caesarean section is only 10.2 ~ 15.2 cm long and 0.32 cm wide. With the gradual healing of the incision, the scar will shrink to 0.2 cm wide.
After caesarean section, if the parturient finds any infection symptoms in the incision, she must go to the hospital in time to avoid scar hyperplasia caused by caesarean section.
What about cesarean scar hyperplasia?
Scar hyperplasia after caesarean section, about two to three weeks after the scar of the surgical incision, the scar began to proliferate. At this time, redness, purple and hardness appeared locally, protruding from the skin surface for about three months to six months. Fibrous tissue hyperplasia gradually stopped, scars gradually flattened and softened, and the color turned dark brown. This is a symptom of scar hyperplasia in caesarean section. If the parturient finds the above symptoms in the cesarean scar two to three weeks after delivery, it is cesarean scar hyperplasia.
At this time, maternal friends should eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, skins and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. Because these foods can promote blood circulation, improve the metabolic function of epidermis, help parturient prevent cesarean scar hyperplasia, and stifle cesarean scar hyperplasia in the cradle. After caesarean section, if the maternal friend finds any infection symptoms in the incision, he must go to the hospital in time to let the wound heal as soon as possible, which will also help the recovery of caesarean section scar.
How to prevent scar hyperplasia by caesarean section
1. Pay attention to cleaning to avoid infection.
After the operation, we must pay attention to keep the wound clean and avoid infection. Don't rush to do some strenuous activities after the operation, so as to avoid overstretching or lateral flexion. Try to take a lateral position and slight flexion when sleeping, so as to reduce the tension of the abdominal wall. For women with severe anemia, we should also actively correct anemia.
2. Don't scratch the itchy wound.
When scars begin to proliferate, there will be an itchy feeling, especially when sweating heavily in summer, which often makes many people unbearable. But at this time, don't scratch with your hands, and don't scald with water, so as to avoid inflammatory reaction of connective tissue after stimulation and further aggravate itching. If you really can't stand it, you can apply some drugs for external use under the guidance of a doctor, such as Fu Shu and Dexamethasone.
3. Let the scabbed skin fall off naturally.
When the scar scabs, don't expose it prematurely, and let the scab skin fall off naturally. Premature scabbing is easy to take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, and even tear the dermal tissue, stimulate the wound and itch again.
Pay attention to sun protection
Because newborn skin is stimulated by ultraviolet rays, it is easy to leave black pigmentation, so try to avoid sunlight.
5. Eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid spicy food.
Pay attention to strengthen nutrition in diet, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, lean meat and other foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and essential amino acids, so as to promote blood circulation, improve epidermal metabolic function, and try to avoid spicy food.
