    Suturing the wound can generally ensure timely healing and effectively suppress the scar. But if your wound really doesn't need to be stitched, then you don't have to go to the hospital, here are some ways to determine if the wound needs to be stitched up.

    Suturing is a common method for wounds in medicine, but I don't recommend much here, some wounds do not need to be sutured at all, and they will leave obvious scars after suturing, which will bring trouble to the patient's life. Deeper or larger wounds only need to be applied externally, which can promote and accelerate the healing of wounds, which not only avoids ugly suture scars, but also accelerates wound healing.

    How to tell if a wound needs stitches.

    Observe the depth of the wound.

    Is yellow adipose tissue already visible at the wound? Are the bones exposed? Is the meat under the skin exposed in large areas? Is the wound depth more than 6 mm? If one of the above conditions matches, you will need a stitch.

    Observe the width of the wound.

    Can the wound be pinched? Usually the purpose of the bandage and gauze is to close the wound, and after 12 hours, the wound will scab over and begin to heal itself. However, if the wound is too wide to close with a bandage, then you will need stitches to force the ** to close it to help it heal.

    Observe the wound location.

    If the wound is located in a part of the body that is often moved, then it is best to go to the hospital and get it stitched so that the activity does not cause the wound to expand or tear repeatedly. For example, wounds on the legs and fingers (especially in the joints) may require stitches, while wounds on the forehead generally do not. However, if the wound is particularly deep or wide, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for stitches in time, regardless of whether it is located in a regularly active area or not.

    Keep in mind that the depth and width of the wound are decisive in determining whether or not stitches are needed.

    Question 3: How many stitches are stitched in the wound, is it necessary for the doctor to count There is no such statement.

    The suture is according to the appropriate spacing, and the wound is distributed more evenly, generally the needle distance of ordinary wounds is 10 13mm, the suture margin is 2 3mm, the needle distance is 3 5mm, and the suture margin of neck surgery is 3mm, and the needle distance is 5mm. You don't need to count a few stitches.

    Question 4: What is the size of a wound that requires stitches? What location? How deep? Don't just look at the surface area of the wound、。。

    Question 5: Do you need stitches Hello, I'm glad to answer for you, a wound as big as yours needs stitches, because the wound will be healed quickly and not easily infected, if you don't get stitches, the healing of the wound will be much slower, and it is easy to be infected by external bacteria to the wound, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital to sterilize the stitches, don't infect the wound, then it will be troublesome, I wish you a speed**.

    The number of stitches varies depending on the wound. There is no fixing.

    Chinese like to use "how many stitches" to describe (judge) the severity of the injury. This is a wrong way to decide.

    For example, the stitch spacing for a wound on the chest and abdomen can be large. One is that these parts are more relaxed, and the other is that these parts do not have a greater ability to move (move).

    Stitches in the joints generally need to be spaced at small intervals, mainly to prevent movement during exercise and affect healing.

    The main reason for the higher density of stitches on the face is to minimize the formation of scarring.

    In life, we may inadvertently hurt when we bump and touch, or even scratch wounds, wounds can be large or small, and some of them do not scratch the skin, but only subcutaneous bruises. However, if the scratch is bleeding, it is still necessary to see whether stitches are needed depending on the specific situation. Moreover, if the wound is bleeding, the wound should be cleaned in time, disinfected, and stopped bleeding to avoid wound infection as much as possible.

    How big is the wound that requires stitches?

    How big is the wound that requires stitches? In fact, for this problem, it is still necessary to look at the different parts of the injury and the specific situation. In the natural state, if the wound does not fit together on its own, or if it can fit together but the wound gap is still relatively large.

    With the human body's activities, there may be a situation where the wound is closed one by one, which is not conducive to the healing of the wound, and the patient needs stitches to create a good healing environment for the wound.

    Generally speaking, wounds larger than 5 mm to about 1 cm will not fit together on their own, and this situation may require stitches. In addition, the wound may not be too large in the part close to the joint activity, but because the joint often needs to be moved, and the ** of this part is relatively thick, it may be relatively difficult to heal. In this case, it may be necessary for a very small wound to be sutured, so these are still considered on a case-by-case basis.

    Can anti-inflammatory drugs be used to prevent wound infection?

    Can I use anti-inflammatory drugs on my own to prevent wound infection? In fact, there is merit in this statement, but it is not entirely correct. In fact, the most important thing to prevent wound infection is aseptic operation, doctors pay great attention to aseptic operation during the operation process, and before surgery, and after surgery, patients should pay attention to keeping the wound clean.

    Wound care is very important, and keeping the wound clean and clean is an important part of preventing infection. If you find that the dressing is wet, tell the doctor to change the dressing in time, do not pick the dressing, and do not use various disinfectants that you think are right to clean the wound. In addition, the patient will need to visit the hospital regularly to change the dressing.

    Of course, in terms of drugs, patients can also use some corresponding antibiotics prophylactically, in fact, these doctors in the hospital will prescribe drugs to patients according to the patient's situation. Patients need to use drugs according to the doctor's instructions, but it is not assumed that taking medicine can prevent wound infection, and drugs only play an auxiliary preventive role.

    In summary, if there is a relatively large and serious wound, you should still go to the hospital for treatment in time and listen to the doctor's advice. In addition, try not to touch water after the wound is sutured to prevent infection. If you need to take medication, you should also listen to the doctor's advice, and don't use it indiscriminately or eat it indiscriminately.

    In terms of diet, it is necessary to strengthen the intake of foods containing protein and vitamins to enhance nutrition and promote wound healing.

    Hello, the question of whether to suture the wound after injury needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis, and there are no strict regulations.

    Suggestions: Generally speaking, if the injury is **, and the tear is longer, then the recovery time and the scar after recovery are larger, if debridement and suture** are done, this situation may be improved, but there is no guarantee that there will be no scar. The depth of the wound is also a factor, and if the injury is minor but the damage is deep to the organs, then it may also be necessary to lengthen the wound appropriately and then treat the deep injury.

    Therefore, for wounds, it is generally necessary to determine the timing of debridement and suturing according to the specific situation.
