St. John's Wort Oil for Wound Healing and Pain After Cesarean Section

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Wound Healing, Caesarean Section

In brief

Cesarean section refers to the surgical procedure in which the fetus is delivered via an incision, typically performed when vaginal delivery is not possible due to high-risk conditions. In recent years, the rate of cesarean deliveries has increased significantly. The quality of treatment and care is crucial in ensuring proper surgical wound healing following cesarean birth. Various new methods and products have been developed for wound healing and care in recent years, some of which are derived from herbal sources. The limitations of pharmacological methods used in the postpartum period, such as treatment failure, concerns about potential harm to the mother and infant, adverse side effects, negative impact on breastfeeding, emergence of resistant microorganisms, and ineffectiveness of current antibiotics, have led individuals to seek alternative natural remedies. Hypericum perforatum (commonly known as St. John's Wort) is frequently used in the postpartum period due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. This study aims to examine the effects of Hypericum perforatum on wound healing and pain in women following cesarean delivery.
