Getting injured in daily life is inevitable, and no one can guarantee that they will never get hurt again. If you accidentally injure your hand while doing something, you must take the wound seriously. Especially for pregnant women, they must be more cautious when dealing with wounds. What if their hand is cut during pregnancy?
After the hand is cut, pregnant women can decide whether to seek medical treatment based on the severity of their injuries. If it is only a minor cut, pregnant women do not need to seek medical attention and can self treat the wound at home. It is recommended that pregnant women first use physiological saline to clean the wound and remove impurities from the wound area. Then use hemostatic cotton to press the wound firmly to achieve hemostasis, and finally wrap it with a bandage.
If a pregnant woman's hand is severely injured, even to the point of injuring muscles, bones, or blood vessels, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to treat the wound. During the medical treatment, pregnant women need to take measures to stop bleeding. They can use elastic bands to tighten the injured arm to avoid excessive blood loss. If the pregnant woman has already lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, it is necessary to promptly call 120.
After the wound on the hand is treated, pregnant women should not be careless. It is best not to touch water before the wound heals, as there are many bacteria in the water that may cause wound infection. Moreover, pregnant women should pay attention to regularly disinfecting their wounds, which can be wiped with iodine or 75% alcohol. If necessary, they can go to the hospital for treatment.
