Patient's question:
I have a breech position and have chosen to undergo a cesarean section. I want to prepare mentally beforehand so that I won't be as nervous when the time comes. Do I need to have my hair shaved for a cesarean birth?Doctor's answer:
Before a cesarean section, there still needs to be preoperative preparation, which involves removing pubic hair, among other things. Additionally, it is necessary to insert a urinary catheter early. Therefore, preparation should be made accordingly. It is recommended to pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva on a daily basis, but avoid overexertion and overtime work. It is also advisable to estimate the due date, as a cesarean section around one week before the estimated due date is generally acceptable. Pay close attention to monitoring fetal movement and the size of the fetus. In addition to symptomatic treatment for the cesarean section, patients also need to focus on nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. Meanwhile, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
