Cervical section is made after the caesarean section

Any surgical intervention ends with superposition of the sutures on the surgical wound. Cesarean section is not an exception. Often, women after cesarean section note that the suture begins to ooze. Let's take a closer look at this situation.

Appearance of excretions from a wound after cesarean is the norm?

If suddenly a woman after cesarean, before the removal of the suture , the wound begins to ooze, it is necessary to inform the doctor immediately. Such a phenomenon, as a rule, can indicate the presence of suppuration, which requires urgent medical intervention and is not the norm.

What if the suture after caesarean section begins to ooze, and why does it occur?

The first thing that a woman needs to do is to find a secretion of the sap from the wound, to apply a dry, sterile gauze napkin, fixing it with a bandage or a piece of adhesive plaster. Then you need to urgently go to the doctor, who will determine why a young mother oozes a suture after a cesarean. Most often this is due to:

• penetration into the wound infection;
• infection with hematomas, resulting from traumatization of the subcutaneous fat layer during the operation;
• use of suture material having high tissue reactivity;
• violations of drainage of a postoperative wound in fat women.

How is treatment carried out?

If already at home after caesarean section the suture begins to ooze, it is necessary urgently to address to the doctor, tk. the probability of suppuration is great. In this case it is observed:

• growing with time pain;
• hyperemia of the edges and swelling of the seam;
• the appearance of excretions from a yellow-green wound.

Depending on how hard the suture drips, the woman will be either probing the wound with complete removal of secretions, or cleaning it with the subsequent installation of drainage, in extreme cases, perform excision of damaged tissues. Also, several, or even all, seams can be removed.

If the suture fester after cesarean section, a woman should definitely be prescribed a course of antibiotics, drainage and daily cleaning of the wound. Locally, ointment dressings can be prescribed.

In this case, the seam after cesarean should be treated as usual, only if it also oozes, then before the procedure, the sister gently, with a sterile napkin, moistens the wound, thus removing all the excreta. Every day, the dressing is changed on a postoperative wound and treated with an antiseptic solution (spirituous tincture of brilliant green), this protects the wound from infection.

To prevent divergence of sutures on the wound, it is recommended to wear a postoperative bandage that helps reduce the burden on the abdominal muscles.
