Cesarean section does not necessarily require the removal of stitches, which needs to be decided according to the pregnant woman’s own condition and the doctor’s suturing method.
Cesarean section is a surgical method to terminate pregnancy, which should be operated by a professional doctor after clarifying surgical indications such as scarred uterus and fetal malposition. Whether the abdominal suture incision needs to be removed after the operation is determined by the doctor according to the thickness of abdominal fat and edema of the pregnant woman. Stitches need to be removed when silk sutures are given to close the abdominal incision, but not when absorbable threads are used for cosmetic suturing.
After cesarean section also pay attention to appropriate rest, appropriate increase in diet and nutrition in order to promote physical recovery and wound healing, keep the vulva clean and dry, prohibit bath and sexual intercourse for 6 weeks, and observe the healing of abdominal incision. In general, when the recovery is good, the silk suture abdominal incision needs to be removed in 5-7 days, and under the guidance of the doctor on a regular basis to re-examine.
