Patient's question:
Sister had a cesarean section and developed hypertrophic scars. Now, the scars have again shown signs of redness and swelling. The scars have become particularly hard and have weakened the skin surface, accompanied by some pain and discomfort. It is said that hypertrophic scars can cause significant harm to the body. What should sister do about the fibrotic scars after her cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum scar hyperplasia may lead to the recurrence of scar pain or redness and swelling, generally having no significant impact on the body. In fact, it also reflects the body's scar healing ability. It may affect aesthetics. Topical Lidocaine can be used. It's important to prevent constipation from recurring to avoid the wound being forced open by straining during bowel movements. Fruits and vegetables should be consumed more, and a healthy diet should be maintained. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and always maintain a cheerful mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
