Is it better to "remove stitches" or "cosmetic thread" by caesarean section?

Traditional caesarean section uses thick and black suture, so the wound is as scary as a centipede hanging on the stomach before it is removed. In recent years, beauty thread has become popular. The beauty thread is stitched on the skin. From the outside, you can only see a thin wound. Most importantly, the cosmetic thread does not need to be removed, which can save a felony compared with ordinary suture. ?

Although many hospitals now use cosmetic thread to suture caesarean section wounds, some hospitals still use traditional detachable thread. Many pregnant mothers don't know the difference between cosmetic thread and detachable thread, and don't know which suture to choose is more conducive to the recovery and beauty of the wound. Let's talk about this problem in detail.

Let's talk about the benefits of beauty line first.

1, no need to take out stitches. Beauty line also has a name called absorption line. For a wound, ordinary suture is like a foreign body, which needs to be taken out when the wound heals. American thread is essentially egg white thread. When it is in a person's body, it will be slowly absorbed by the human body. As a treasure mother who has stitches removed after caesarean section, it still hurts to have stitches removed. At that time, after being removed, there was cold sweat on the back of the palm and forehead. The biggest advantage of using beauty thread is that I don't have to go through the pain of stitches removal.

2, the wound scar will not be too obvious. As we know, the beauty thread of caesarean section is sewn in the skin. From the outside of the wound, there is no thread, only a thin wound can be seen. After scarring, the scar of the wound will not be as obvious as traditional suture. Scar is smaller than traditional suture, and the wound is more beautiful after healing.

But the beauty line is very thin, just like our hair, not as strong as traditional stitches. If mother doesn't pay attention to the wound after operation, her abdomen will easily crack when she exerts force. If the wound is severely cracked, a second suture is needed. There are also some allergic mothers who have the problem of rejecting the beauty line after using it. In this case, the beauty thread must be pulled out, otherwise the wound will be difficult to heal.

Let's talk about the benefits of ordinary stitches first.

1, the wound heals quickly. Ordinary suture is firm, and the wound is not easy to crack after operation. Even if some pregnant mothers are allergic, they will not reject ordinary suture, and the wound will heal faster.

2, suitable for pregnant mothers with thick abdominal fat. Some pregnant mothers are fatter. If the cosmetic thread is used, it will easily cause the problem of tension cracking or fat liquefaction of the wound, which is not conducive to wound healing. Mothers themselves will suffer, and the pain of debridement is beyond the ordinary people's endurance. Therefore, if the pregnant mother has thick abdominal fat, it is safer to use traditional suture.

But ordinary stitches also have disadvantages. Some pregnant mothers will find the wound ugly after using ordinary stitches. In this case, it is recommended that pregnant mothers still use beauty thread, which will make the wound more beautiful.

In a word, the advantages of cosmetic thread and detachable thread for caesarean section are complementary, but no matter what kind of suture, water should be avoided in the process of wound recovery. Every day, the wound should be disinfected with iodophor or medical alcohol, and the pregnant mother with scar constitution should use silicone scar paste after operation to prevent the wound tension from aggravating the problem of scar hyperplasia and make the wound recover faster.
