What is Caesarian section?
Caesarean section is a serious cavitary operation. In order to remove the child, you have to cut the abdominal wall and the uterus. Such an operation is performed under general anesthesia or with epidural anesthesia. General anesthesia can adversely affect the child, whereas epidural anesthesia can cause a sharp drop in blood pressure in the mother.
The abdominal wall is now most often cut horizontally just above the pubis. This is the so-called cosmetic incision, the seam from which eventually turns into a thin white line. Unlike the vertical seam, the seam from such interference is almost not noticeable.
The child is removed from the incision either by hand or using special forceps. After the extraction from the uterus of the afterbirth, it is sewed up, then the abdominal cavity is sewn, after which an ice pack is placed on the stomach for several hours.
The first few days after cesarean section, a woman is under the close supervision of doctors. In the first hours after the operation, it is allowed to drink only a little water, and nutrients are introduced into the body with the help of a dropper. Then gradually begins the introduction of familiar products, to a normal diet, a woman can return only on the fifth day after the operation.
Moving a young mother can only a few days after Caesarean section, in addition, any movement will be very painful. In addition, the seam needs to be processed and bandaged several times a day. And this is an additional unpleasant sensation. It should be added that any birth in itself is not a simple test, a voluntary operation will only complicate the situation.
