A post-c-section massage is one of the most important things you can do to care for and heal your scar after having a c-section. Scar tissue can be painful at first, and if left alone, it can cause difficulties in your pelvic floor muscles and abdominal wall. A scar massage <\/a>and c-section massage tool might help you avoid these difficulties and cure your scar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massage can help with c-section scars in what ways?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Massage is excellent for your cesarean-section scar because it prevents scar tissue from forming in undesirable places, smoothes out thick scars, and increases blood flow, all of which aid in c-section scar healing. The healing process takes time and is divided into four stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 1:<\/strong> Hemostasis<\/a> is the initial stage in which clotting factors in your blood stop the bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 2:<\/strong> Scabbing over and clearing out poisons and pathogens is the second stage (inflammation<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 3: <\/strong>The third phase (proliferation stage<\/a>) is the rebuilding stage. This is when massaging your scar will be most beneficial. It may feel uncomfortable and sensitive once healed and developed because the nerve endings within the tissue are actively repairing. When pressed on, it may feel numb, tingling, or even painful in some areas. It is still red, but it will fade to a normal skin tone with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 4:<\/strong> The scar strengthens during the fourth stage (maturation). Scar tissue can form up to a year following your C-Section. The scar is mature when the body no longer creates scar tissue. Massage can still be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you massage a C-section scar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Massage<\/a> your scar with a soft oil, such as coconut oil or vitamin E oil, or by using a c-section massage tool. Soft oil in the markets is excellent for reducing the appearance of scars and relaxing scar tissue. When you’re ready, apply oil on your index fingers, then use your thumb and fingers to massage in small circular strokes. Apply gentle pressure so that the scar moves but is not unpleasant. Massage the area around the scar after rubbing the scar itself by gently pulling the skin while providing pressure. To put it another way, give yourself a light belly massage. The goal is to separate the scar from the tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should a C-section scar be massaged?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should be gentle when massaging your scar<\/a> in the beginning until it gets less red and unpleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After your 6-week check-up, or sooner if the scar is judged well-healed, you can begin the gentle massage. Initially, the scar may be tender, red, and painful, depending on the length of the scar. It may be best to work around it, massaging the tissues above and below it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the scar softens, you can repeat this method with your fingers immediately on top of the scar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
