Generally, gauze can be removed from a caesarean section-free wound in about 1 week. The purpose of applying gauze after cesarean section is mainly to avoid postoperative bleeding or infection caused by friction on the fresh incision. As the incision of cesarean section will generally heal in about 7 days, the gauze can be removed after the wound has healed to prevent symptoms such as local skin irritation. However, if infection occurs in the incision after cesarean section, the wound should be covered with gauze after daily disinfection and medication change until the wound heals. After removing the gauze after cesarean section, you can use 75% alcohol or saline to rub the incision every day to prevent incision infection. In addition, women should pay attention to hygiene and keep the abdominal incision dry after cesarean delivery, and it is recommended to eat more protein-rich eggs, fish and milk to promote incision healing.
