I believe many expectant mothers are looking forward to a natural birth. But after all, it takes a lot of perseverance and endurance to survive, and there are some complications after giving birth. Women are weak, but mothers are strong. No matter how cute the baby looks, no amount of pain will disappear.

After caesarean section, the incision suppurated and the meat was scraped many times. The pain is heartbreaking!

20 14 the 15th of the first month was my due date, but the baby was too comfortable, so I didn't come out because I was worried that the baby would go to the hospital to check that everything was normal. My husband and I went home safely and waited for the baby to start. I didn't expect to go home with a stomachache. It hurts every few hours. In the next few days, the pain time is getting tighter and tighter. Then it became once every few minutes. Husband drove to the hospital quickly, and the doctor broke his finger and went home. Every two or three minutes, the pain came again, so I went home again, and the pain lasted until the next afternoon. The doctor said to do B-ultrasound, and the attending doctor said that the child's head was not straight and he had to be dissected.

Before that, I always wanted to have a natural birth. I have to give my child a haircut. At eight o'clock in the evening, the baby came out. My caesarean section is not over yet. My tears haven't stopped since I took the anesthetic.

On the 22nd of the first month, the knife edge hurts. The doctor said it was contractions. I don't understand and believe it. I can't forget the pain of that night. I can't stop crying. I told my husband that I didn't want to live. It's too painful. My husband said don't talk nonsense, so I stayed up all night.

On the 23rd day of the first month, when the catheter was pulled out, the doctor told me to walk in the fields, and my mother-in-law dragged me out of bed, so I couldn't get up at all. I persisted, gritted my teeth, and tears came down. I took a few steps in the ward, and I couldn't squat down to pee. The other one in the same ward was also delivered by caesarean section, and her mother-in-law said that she could go down if she could see someone's home. Just for a person who can't squat down, they asked the doctor to talk about me, and the doctor came over. I said I was really in pain. In the afternoon, the nurse took my temperature normally. I have a high fever of 38 degrees for 9 minutes. Fortunately, it disappeared later. But this is a phenomenon that caesarean section should not have, and I don't understand it.

The dressing can be changed on the 24th day of the first month, usually on the 4th day. In the afternoon, the doctor came to change the medicine. My mother said my daughter had a knife wound. The doctor tore off the tape and asked me where it hurt. I said right middle, the doctor came out as soon as he pressed the pus in his stomach. The doctor said it was inflamed. It should be a few days. Now I understand why people don't cry like that. I can squat when I pee. My mother asked what to do. Look at it tomorrow. The next morning, the doctor came to have a look and said that anti-inflammatory drugs had no effect. I have to cut it to make myself grow better. I was already in pain. The doctor didn't feel scared when he said to cut it.

After caesarean section, there is pus on the knife edge, and the flesh is scraped many times, which is painful and heartbreaking!

In this way, my mother accompanied me and followed the doctor to the treatment room. The doctor exposed the incision for sleeping. I was scared when I saw the doctor turning over the scissors. I clutched my mother's clothes tightly. The doctor came with scissors and wiped the knife edge with iodophor. He saw the scissors start to move. It hurts and makes a sound. It's meat, so he picks up scissors and cuts your meat. What's that feeling? The doctor said to my mother inside. The doctor picked up another knife and scraped off the inflamed meat inside. I couldn't help screaming in pain. My mother said not to cry. Actually, she was trying to comfort me. My mother has tears in her eyes, too. She can see the doctor's every move, scratching her daughter's body and hurting her mother's heart. It lasted for half an hour and finally ended, crying all the way to the ward. For the next few days, I kept shaving (there was always red and swollen meat) and crying every day.

Until the eleventh day, the doctor said it didn't seem to be inflamed, and told me to go home first and then go to the third grade. Another doctor taught me a way to sprinkle sugar on the incision to reduce inflammation. Just a few days later, I changed the sugar and shaved the meat once. Finally, the incision healed on the 47th day. I don't have to suffer. I wrote so many tears that I never stopped writing. What painful memories. I am glad that my son is sensible. He seems to be.

Now many women are afraid of pain and don't want to endure the pain during childbirth, so many mothers choose caesarean section. The most common way of caesarean section is to restore the incision. If the recovery is not good, there will be obvious scars, and some will even be inflamed and purulent. If there is such a situation as my mother said above, we must deal with it in time.

Steps/methods:

Generally speaking, the pus on the incision after caesarean section is mostly caused by infection. If it is not serious, but only a small amount of pus, pain and redness are not obvious, you can take some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs first, but pay attention to before taking them. If you are nursing a baby, you should consult your doctor.

2. In addition, we should also consider whether the infection is caused by knotting problems. If the medication is ineffective or the infection is serious, you should seek medical advice in time. You can usually take it out and drain it. Drainage strips should be placed at the wound to drain pus as soon as possible.

3. Be careful after drainage. Alcohol can be used for cleaning and disinfection. Anti-inflammation should be applied on time every day and should be treated with antibiotics. In the meantime, spicy and cold food should be avoided. Pay attention to rest, debridement, dressing change and anti-infection treatment to make the wound recover faster.

Tip:

In order to recover better after caesarean section, we must pay attention to nursing, pay attention to nutrition and digestion in our diet, and drink plenty of water. Eat high-nutrition, high-calorie and digestible food, but don't eat cold, spicy and irritating food, which is not conducive to the healing of pus wounds.
