The whole process of having a child can be very stressful for a woman. From the anxiety she goes through at the time of temptation to the moment of childbirth, which can be very tiring, there is a lot of concern.
Things like anxiety about the baby’s arrival, various types of symptoms and a multitude of changes both physical and psychological that make the woman’s world turn upside down. But anyone who thinks that worries about their own body will end after childbirth is wrong.
Some questions may remain open, such as when the cesarean section is cut dormant , for example. It is something that worries many women, but is it dangerous? What does that mean? Is there any treatment? We will investigate all of these issues in today’s text, but first, we need to explain in more detail how cesarean surgery is performed.
How is Cesarean section done?
Cesarean section is the name given to the surgery performed to make childbirth happen, other than by natural means. It is often indicated for women who may have problems with normal childbirth, when it may pose a risk to the woman or the baby.
This type of procedure is usually scheduled beforehand, but it can also end up happening during labor , if necessary. Caesarean section has some steps to be taken. They are:
- Anesthesia : In this stage, the woman is anesthetized so that the surgery can be done without pain. Anesthesia is applied to the spine, in addition to a probe to contain urine as well.
- Cut : In this step, the doctor makes a cut, which usually goes from 10 to 12 cm and goes through 6 layers of skin to reach the place where the baby is.
- Withdrawal of the baby : When the cuts are already made, the doctor carefully removes the baby from the mother’s womb. It is a painless and relatively quick process. The doctor assesses whether the baby is breathing normally and after that the mother can already see her child. Before she can breastfeed, the baby must be clean and weighed.
- Closing the cut : This is the last step, when the doctor sews all the layers of skin open for the removal of the baby. It is also painless and is usually a relatively quick process.
In the past, the cesarean section was cut more aggressively, which left a scar not only bigger, but also more difficult to care for. Nowadays this process has been modernized and, in addition to the scar being less noticeable, your care for it is also easier to deal with.
This advancement in medicine also helped aesthetically , since in the past many women were not comfortable with their own bodies because of the scar that extended across the abdominal area, reaching up to the navel area.
After delivery, it is very important that the woman knows how to take care of her cut so that it heals in a healthy way, does not inflame or generate any problems. This is a precaution that must be taken with any type of cut, but attention needs to be doubled in this case, as it is a time when you have a newborn that depends on you for many things.
To talk about how to take care of the cesarean section, it is necessary to understand that the recovery process is the body as a whole and not just the cut. You are coming out of a pregnancy that lasted about 42 weeks and your body is adapting to a new reality now. The most important care for everything to return to normal has to be done during the first 15 days.
The main thing to do is to rest . Let the body get used to it alone. This rest in the first 15 days is essential for the healing process of your cut to occur in the best possible way.
Washing the cut thoroughly with soap and water is also extremely important to prevent infections. Do not use any type of cream or lotion on it, as it can irritate your skin.
Do not resume your routine at once, go little by little. Understand what your limits are and don’t make any excessive effort. Respecting these conditions, you will notice that, little by little, your body will return to normal and your cut will also heal naturally without any problem.
Difficulties arise when you think about how you need to take care of the baby and how it can hinder your recovery process. At this point it is important to have the help of your father and whoever else can help you.
Cesarean section Dormant is Normal?
Now that you have understood how this type of procedure works and what are the necessary precautions for cutting, we can now talk about the problems that may arise. When we talk about a cesarean section dormant, we talk about something quite common and that is not exactly negative.
This numbness usually happens because of the aggressive way in which the surgery is performed. It is fast, cuts through many layers of skin and has strong anesthesia. Yes, the cut of the cesarean section is normal , but even so it causes discomfort in many women.
How Long Can It Last?
There is no right time for this numbness to go away. There are cases where it has only lasted a few weeks, a few months, a few years and even cases where this numbness has lasted a lifetime.
This is something that depends on several factors , including how the woman’s body recovers, her genetic tendencies and the body’s reactions to anesthesia, in addition to several others.
Are There Ways to Treat or Reverse?
Although many women resort to plastic surgery to end the cut of the dormant cesarean section, there is no scientific proof that this is a method that gives results.
It is true that, in some cases, it ends up resolving, but, as we have already said, there are a multitude of factors that can influence this numbness to disappear or not, and exactly why we cannot say that no method can certainly make expected results appear.
Having the cesarean section dormant is not the end of the world. In reality, it is something that happens to many women and is part of your body’s natural process many times. It is still worrying and can even cause despair for many.
What you have to do is to research the situation very well so that you can understand that this is a normal thing and that there is no possibility of greater risks to your health. And if you still have doubts, it is recommended to talk to your doctor so that all your concerns can be alleviated.

Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
