Experts remind expectant mothers not to blindly follow trends when choosing a delivery method. Although caesarean section can temporarily relieve pain, some of the sequelae caused by it are lifelong damage.
Consequence 1: Unsightly scars Some pregnant women will find that the scars from the second caesarean section are much uglier than the first. The muscles are stretched and cannot be restored, which will cause the lower abdomen to protrude, increase the tension of the wound, and make the scar particularly obvious.
Many mothers who don’t know what happened will blame the second doctor for not suturing the wound properly. The scar will be more unsightly.
Word of mouth: How to prevent ugly scars after caesarean section. Medical research has long confirmed that pressure is the best way to prevent scar hyperplasia. As long as the scar is compressed during the proliferative phase so that it does not protrude and become hypertrophic, the maturity of the scar can be accelerated. But this pressure must be even and continuous, and the sooner it is used, the better. Cosmetic tape compression is a simple and convenient option for surgical wound closure.
In order to get better, many pregnant women often follow the advice of relatives and friends or mistakenly believe in exaggerated and false advertisements, and apply so-called scar cream and other drugs. In fact, these things don\’t really work. If effective and sustained pressure is not applied during wound closure, it will be too late by the time scars form. Therefore, if you want to avoid leaving unsightly postpartum scars, prevention is better than cure.
Sequelae 2: Impact on the mother-child relationship. American researchers conducted brain scans on mothers and found that mothers who gave birth naturally were more sensitive to their children\’s cries, while caesarean sections may lead to a decrease in maternal behavior.
Research results show that natural childbirth stimulates the mother\’s cervix and vagina to produce hormones, thereby enhancing their affection for the baby, which is crucial to becoming a good mother in the future. Brain research shows that intense brain activity during natural childbirth can regulate mothers\’ mood and daily behavior, helping them to successfully care for their children later in life. Cesarean section uses an incision in the mother\’s abdominal wall to take the baby directly out of the uterus, which changes the mother\’s \”neurological and hormonal experience\” during delivery and may reduce the closeness between mother and child.
Words from the heart: Blood is thicker than water. If caesarean section dilutes this most precious family relationship, will expectant mothers still choose caesarean section?
Sequelae 3: Pregnancy after caesarean section This year, the number of pregnant women in Qingdao has increased significantly compared with previous years. The reporter learned from the maternity wards of major hospitals that the beds are usually full. Ji Xianghong, director of the obstetrics department, told reporters that as more and more women give birth, more and more people are choosing caesarean section. At the same time, women have more problems after caesarean section and need to be reminded.
A few days ago, a hospital received a patient with a cesarean section pregnancy incision, and the patient was out of danger after rescue. Clinically, the incidence of this disease is on the rise. The risks of this surgery are no less than those of an ectopic pregnancy.
A cesarean section pregnancy is when a woman becomes pregnant again within one or two years after a cesarean section. The gestational sac is easy to adhere to the scar of the incision, and it is easy to become large during miscarriage.Bleeding. If you don’t want to miscarry and want to have another baby, that won’t work because it will endanger the life of the fetus.
Thoughtful words: Generally, women who give birth naturally can walk on the second day after delivery. However, some women who have had a cesarean section are afraid of the pain of the incision and do not move for a week after delivery. This is very dangerous and they are prone to pulmonary artery obstruction.
Recently, such cases have gradually increased in clinical practice. Originally, the blood viscosity of the mother before and after delivery increased and the blood flow was slow. If she does not move after giving birth and eats greasy food, it is easy for her to develop deep venous blood and pulmonary embolism after shedding.
Sequelae 4: Severe damage to the uterus. Among the different factors that cause uterine damage, caesarean section tops the list. Many pregnant women are afraid of pain, or mistakenly believe that children born by caesarean section are smarter than children born by vaginal delivery and will not damage the mother\’s figure. Little did they know that natural birth is better, and caesarean section is only an emergency measure under certain special circumstances and is really a last resort.
During the caesarean section, the mother has to bear the risks of anesthesia, bleeding, postoperative infection, etc., and her body recovery is slower than that of women who give birth by vaginal delivery. Moreover, women who choose caesarean section have more worries about contraception and getting pregnant again in the future than women who give birth naturally.
Intimate words: Methods to care for the uterus 1. Regularly eating soy products and drinking green tea can supplement phytoestrogens and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer to 46%.
2. Swimming is the best way to exercise the uterus: it strengthens blood circulation, promotes metabolism, and can effectively avoid the adverse effects of ground suction on the uterus. It is recommended to swim for 2 hours per week.
3. Exercise to enhance uterine function and prevent intrauterine bleeding and uterine ptosis: Kneel on the bed, separate your knees, straighten your waist, and keep your chest as close to the bed as possible for 5 minutes. Then lie on the bed, do abdominal tightening and hip lifting exercises, and feel the uterus contract with the body.
