Nowadays, due to the popularity of cesarean section surgery, many people choose it during delivery to reduce some pain. Moreover, some fetuses are too big or the pelvic area of the mother is relatively small, which makes vaginal delivery difficult. Therefore, some mothers choose to undergo cesarean section. So, how long does the wound of cesarean section start to itch?
Generally speaking, the scars left by a cesarean section will last for at least three months. If the recovery is slow or even takes about six months, the scars will gradually soften during this period, causing pain and itching in the wound, especially when sweating a lot or when the weather changes. However, this itching will disappear and gradually disappear with time.
At the same time, it should be noted that the scab formed on the incision after surgery should not be forcefully torn off too early, as this may take away the cells in the epidermis that are still in the repair stage, causing the wound to become itchy. In addition, it is important to avoid direct sunlight to prevent the deposition of skin pigments. It is also important to ensure the hygiene of the scar area and avoid scratching it frequently. It is recommended to eat more fruits and eggs, which are rich in vitamin C and essential nutrients for the body. They can promote blood circulation, improve metabolic function, and promote wound scab formation.
