How many layers of sutures are needed for cesarean section

Some pregnant women will experience fetal malposition and other problems during pregnancy, and cesarean section is an obstetric surgery that effectively solves these problems. Some women who are afraid of pain can also choose to have a caesarean section when giving birth. A caesarean section mainly involves making an incision in the woman's abdomen, then cutting the uterus, and taking the baby out of the mother's uterus. But how many layers are needed during caesarean section?

First of all, we need to know what a cesarean section is. It is actually very simple. It is just to make an incision in the belly and take the baby out. Relatively speaking, it is more convenient and faster than a natural birth. However, mothers may not have thought about it. It is easy to make an incision but difficult to sew it up. Even an experienced doctor would need nearly an hour to complete the operation.

In fact, many people think that cesarean section is as simple as cutting with a knife. In fact, the structure of our abdomen is still very complicated. The belly has two layers. First cut the belly, and then open the uterus. If it only takes 2 cuts to cut, it takes 7 layers to sew up, but some people say it is 8 layers. The 8th layer should have a little more fat.

Generally, the uterus needs to be sutured in three layers, and the abdominal wall incision is 3-4 layers. From the inside to the outside, the innermost layer is the full layer of uterine muscle, the second layer is the tunicate layer, the third layer is the peritoneum, the fourth layer is the anterior sheath, the fifth layer is the subcutaneous tissue, the sixth layer is the fat layer, and the seventh layer is the skin. Looking at the scar left by the caesarean section, it hurts just thinking about it.

Yes, maybe a woman’s natural duty is to bear children, but this is a very sacred thing. Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, it is very difficult. She endures so much pain just for the healthy birth of the baby. As a man, you really have to cherish your wife.
