Caesarean section is one of the most common surgeries in the world. Yet many women leave the hospital with the information that they need to wait until wound heals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But scar care doesn't not end with removal of stitches. Proper care in the first weeks and months after childbirth can significantly affect not noly the appearance of the scar, but also the functioning if the entire body. An untreated or poorly healing scar can cause a number of problems over time that we do not even associate with a Caesarean section at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why pay attention to your scar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A cesarean section scar is not just a mark on the skin. During the operation, individual layers of tissue are affected, which then heal and form new connective tissue connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the scar becomes stiff, painful or begins to attach to surrounding structures, it can affect the movement of surrounding tissues and create tension in more distant parts of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The consequences can be, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why we recommend starting scar care as soon as possible and paying attention to it even after the postpartum period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What to do immediately after giving birth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the first days after surgery, the goal is not to massage or mechanically load the scar. On the contrary, it is important to restore the perception of the abdominal area and support healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, gently placing your hands over the scar cover and consciously breathing into the abdominal area can help. It is appropriate to gradually begin to carefully move the lower limbs, activate the pelvic floor and practice common movements, such as turning on your side or getting out of bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the first movements may be uncomfortable, the gradual activation of the body is an important part of recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to start touching the scar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The approach to scar varies depending on the stage of healing. As long as there are stitches in the scar or the area is covered, we recommend working only with the surrounding tissues. After the stitches are removed, gentle techniques of mobilization and massage of the scat itself can be gradually introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the first weeks, we always proceed very gently. The goal is not pain, but to improve tissue mobility and support their proper healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular hydration of the scar with appropriate products and daily short work with the tissues around it are also an important part of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What to watch out for during the first six weeks of pregnancy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The postpartum period can be physically and mentally demanding. Many mothers focus primarily on caring for their baby and often have no time for their own regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, rest is the one of the most important factors in proper healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the first few weeks, we recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n More demanding abdominal exercises, crunches, or sit-ups should wait until later in your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How long does it take for a scar to heal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many women are surprised to learn that the scar healing process takes much longer than few weeks. While the skin heals relatively quickly, the deeper tissues taky months to regenerate. It can taky 12 to 24 months for a scar to fully mature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That's why it makes sense to pay attention to scar care long after the postpartum period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to see a physiotherapist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not sure how to properly care for your scar, you feel pulling, pain, limited movement, or you want to make sure that the scar is healing properly, we recommend consulting a physiotherapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At SPINEZIO, physiotherapist who are dedicated to the care of scars after cesarean section are Mgr.
