Which is better for caesarean section, "removal of stitches" or "beauty stitches"? Do pregnant mothers understand the difference between the two?

Although vaginal delivery is a good method of delivery, it is not suitable for every mother. If you encounter some special circumstances, such as the fetus is too large, the pregnant woman has pregnancy complications, etc., it is not suitable for vaginal delivery. , then the only alternative method of delivery ~ caesarean section can be used.

A caesarean section is a method of delivery in which an incision is opened directly from the abdomen, the uterus is incised, and the fetus is taken out.

Even side incisions for normal delivery require suturing. The wound opened on the abdomen for caesarean section is usually 8-15 cm. Such a large opening naturally cannot avoid suturing. When suturing wounds, you need to use some surgical-specific threads. These threads are also divided into two types, one is ordinary silk thread, and the other is catgut. Is it better to remove sutures or cosmetic sutures for caesarean section?

The first type of ordinary silk thread is used to remove the sutures. These threads need to be removed within a certain period of time after the operation. It is a bit painful to think about it.

Beauty suture is catgut. With this kind of suture, there is no need to remove the suture. It can be left in the wound for muscle absorption, avoiding the pain of suture removal.

As for which one is better, there is really no standard, because the two types of threads are different and are not completely suitable for every mother. I can only say that the suitable one is the best. What's the difference between the two?

1. One needs to remove the stitches, the other does not need to be removed

Beauty threads can be absorbed by the body. If you use beauty threads, the mother does not need to go to the hospital after delivery. Removing the sutures avoids the trouble and pain of removing the sutures, although it is not very painful.

Ordinary silk threads cannot be absorbed, so if you use ordinary silk threads, you need to go back to the hospital to have the stitches removed about a week after delivery, which requires the mother to travel on both sides, and many mothers are still very afraid of having the stitches removed.

When I had a caesarean section, I used ordinary silk thread. Originally, the caesarean section wound was relatively large, so I needed a good rest, but I had to take extra time to go to the hospital. If there were many people, I would have to wait. If my home was far away from the hospital, I would have to wait. It will take half a day. I was really scared when I took out the sutures, because I just cut the sutures directly and pulled them out from both sides of the wound. I was worried that it would be very painful. The doctor should know my psychology better. He kept chatting with me to distract me. strength, so I didn’t feel much pain.

2. Absorption problem

It is indeed more convenient to use beauty thread, but it is not suitable for everyone, because everyone’s physique is different, so the absorption ability is also different, and even some people Rejection will occur.

Ordinary silk thread does not have this phenomenon, because it is only used temporarily and does not need to be directly integrated into the body.

3. Price issue

Ordinary silk threads are cheaper, and beauty threads are more expensive than ordinary threads. Some mothers do not choose ordinary silk threads because of the price.

However, compared to the total cost of pregnancy examinations and caesarean section, the price of this thread is nothing at all. There is no need to save money on this thread.

When performing a caesarean section, if the mother has a need for what kind of thread to use, it is best to communicate with the doctor in advance. Otherwise, the doctor will generally use ordinary silk thread or cosmetic thread according to the hospital’s original procedures. .
