Do you need to remove stitches during delivery?

There was a side cut when Dabao was born, and a black line was used when sewing, so the thread should be taken out. Doctors and nurses didn't say that they could use an absorption line, but they just sewed a needle. On the fourth day after delivery, the nurse asked me to take out the stitches, but I didn't get anesthetized. As far as my own feelings are concerned, it is really painful. After I came out, I gave my husband a good beating.

Do you need to remove stitches during delivery?

First, spontaneous labor tearing, lateral incision suture

Lateral incision and tearing suture is performed after the fetus and placenta are completely delivered, usually one layer at a time, and the mother mucosa-subcutaneous tissue-skin. The first two kinds of suture generally use absorbable thread, and the outermost suture can use absorbable thread or non-absorbable thread. If non-absorbable threads are used, they need to be removed before draining.

1, stitches need to be removed.

Whether stitches need to be removed after lateral incision depends on the choice of the outermost suture. In natural delivery, the skin outside the lateral incision wound is sutured with silk thread, and the incision can grow and be removed in 4-6 days, while the wound inside the female private part is sutured with catgut thread, which will be absorbed by the body soon and will not remain in the female private part, so it is not necessary to remove it.

2. Suture is a kind of thread that can be absorbed by human body.

It is a surgical line absorbed by the human body, and the length of absorption depends on the thickness of the intestine and the mother's situation. Generally, it can be completely absorbed in 6-20 days. If it cannot be absorbed, the wound will not heal well, and secondary suture may be needed.

Therefore, the suture of lateral incision laceration during natural delivery mainly depends on the outermost suture, which is not absorbable and needs to be removed; Absorbable thread is used, but it can't be absorbed by human body, so there may be a need for secondary suture.

Second, postpartum tear, lateral needle care

Therefore, treasure moms should remember that they must take good care of the cut or torn wound, so as not to affect the wound healing and experience another pain.
