Cesarean section scar hyperplasia has the possibility of self-healing, but it cannot be generalized and is mainly related to the patient’s physical condition, scar status, wound tension and other factors.
For patients with scarring constitution, scar proliferation after cesarean section is more obvious, and usually starts to proliferate 2-3 weeks after scarring, manifesting as local redness, hardening and protruding from the skin surface. In time, it can form scars and usually does not subside on its own. However, if the patient’s scar growth lesions are soft and flush with the wound, and if the nutritional intake is sufficient after the cesarean section and the body recovers well, the scars may fade on their own or even heal within 1.5-2 years.
It is recommended that patients after cesarean section eat more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and essential amino acids to help promote blood circulation and improve the metabolic function of the epidermis, and also apply anti-scar medication at the early stage of scarring to inhibit scar proliferation.
