Can caesarean section hurt the uterus? Cesarean section is actually a way recommended by doctors to pregnant women with poor health, in order to avoid amniotic fluid embolism during delivery. But now many pregnant women choose this method because they are afraid of pain, or mistakenly think that children who have caesarean section are smarter. In fact, during caesarean section, the parturient should bear the risks of anesthesia, bleeding and postoperative infection. And the physical recovery is slower than that of women who give birth naturally, which is a kind of harm to women's uterus.
For lying-in women, the probability of ectopic pregnancy increases. If the fertilized egg is implanted on the scar, it will pose a great threat to the life safety of the parturient. In severe cases, the uterus needs to be removed or even killed. Even if the fertilized egg is lucky enough to avoid the scar, there is still the risk of "placenta implantation", that is, the placenta grows into the myometrium of the uterus, resulting in massive bleeding during childbirth and affecting uterine contraction. If necessary, this part or even all of the uterus should be removed.
Generally speaking, after the baby gives birth, the uterus will gradually shrink. However, if the wound is not stitched properly during caesarean section, or the placenta is not cleaned up, uterine infection and other reasons may lead to incomplete involution of uterus. Or sometimes the uterus will be easily infected by bacteria, which will cause endometritis and other problems!
The benefits of caesarean section to women can only be done if they do not have the conditions for natural delivery: pelvic conditions are not conducive to natural delivery; Older women (over 32 years old). The occurrence of pregnancy complications (such as severe pregnancy hypertension). Congenital diseases such as poor heart function. There are also some infectious diseases, such as hepatitis and vaginal sexually transmitted diseases. Prolonged first stage of labor, incomplete cervix, premature rupture of amniotic fluid, etc. It will be better if the delivery is as natural as possible, the respiratory system of the fetus squeezed by the birth canal will be better, the relationship with the mother will be closer, and the mother will recover faster after delivery.
Postpartum care must be done for caesarean section women after discharge, and the wound should be kept clean and dry to avoid infection due to improper care at home. If the wound itches and cracks after returning to China, you need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and you can't lift heavy objects after operation, so as to avoid wound rupture and scar hyperplasia caused by involvement. You can't do strenuous exercise immediately after giving birth, because it will slow down the recovery period of the uterus and cause female bleeding. If it is serious, it will damage the surgical section or vulva incision again. Usually after 4-6 weeks of delivery, mothers can do some slimming exercises appropriately, while caesarean section takes 6-8 weeks or more to start postpartum slimming exercises.
