Does the lateral needle hurt during delivery? How long does it take for the wound to recover?

In the process of natural delivery, in order to make the delivery process more smooth, the general doctor will make a lateral perineal incision for the parturient to prevent the parturient from tearing during delivery. Because of this, many pregnant mothers will be particularly nervous when they are near the expected date of delivery. On the one hand, the labor contraction is already very painful, and then it needs to be cut. This will not increase the pain. Therefore, some pregnant mothers will reject natural delivery and feel that caesarean section is not so painful.

So, does the lateral suture needle hurt during delivery, and how long will it take for the wound to recover? First of all, the doctor will inject some anesthetic into the parturient for the side incision during delivery. The baby was sutured after birth, and the pain has been alleviated. Coupled with the effect of anesthetic, the parturient basically does not feel much pain at this time. If you must say a grade, it is similar to the pain of mosquito bites, and the suture time is also very fast, just a few minutes. As for how long the wound can recover, it depends on your lateral incision and postpartum care. According to the experience of most parturients, the wound can almost be recovered after delivery 1 week, and postpartum 1 month has no effect.

Moreover, lateral incision is not a major operation, and the operation steps are very simple. After disinfection and anesthesia injection, cut it horizontally with scissors, with a length of about 4 cm; After suture, stitches can be removed 3 days after delivery. Nowadays, many cosmetic stitches are automatically absorbed without removing stitches.

Does every parturient have to have a side cut?

No, not every parturient has to have a lateral incision. Whether to do lateral incision mainly depends on perineal condition, fetal size and whether the parturient is complicated with pregnancy complications. If it is a normal parturient, as long as you listen to the doctor's instructions correctly, relax your hands and breathe with your mouth open at the moment when the fetal head is delivered, so that the fetal head can be delivered slowly to avoid lateral incision or tear of the perineum.

I have a friend who is super awesome. When she gave birth to two babies, she didn't even have side cuts and tears. Maybe the fetus is just the same size. Both her babies weigh more than 6 kg. I met a heartbroken mother when I gave birth to a child in the hospital. The fetus is more than 8 kg, and it is too hard during delivery. The doctor was not ready, so he tore it directly and couldn't get out of bed for a few days after delivery.

How to nurse after lateral incision?

1. During the days of hospitalization, nurses came to do disinfection work every day, and the new mother only needed to cooperate.

2. Try to check whether there is redness and secretion around the wound every day after returning home. If the wound is infected, you must go to the hospital in time.

3. It is normal to have some pain in the wound after lateral incision, and it can be gradually weakened after 7 days after delivery.

4. Do a good job of disinfection every day during confinement, and rinse with disinfectant water given by the hospital, especially after going to the toilet to avoid bacterial infection.

5. During confinement, sanitary napkins should be changed frequently, and underwear should be disinfected frequently to avoid cross infection.

6. In order to prevent the wound from cracking, the new mother should try not to squat or lift heavy objects.

7. In the process of wound healing, the new mother should lie on her side as far as possible, and the direction of lying should be opposite to the direction of the wound, so that the muscles around the wound will not be affected, and the wound will not be wet because of lochia and breed bacteria.

In short, lateral incision is nothing compared with natural delivery, so pregnant mothers don't have to worry too much.
