Abstract EN
Objective: To assess whether honey can accelerate the wound healing in women undergoing cesarean section.
Methods: This was a triple blinded randomized prospective clinical trial.
Women with cesarean section were randomly designated as drug (37 cases) and placebo (38 cases) groups.
The drug group received local honey gel 25% while the placebo group received similar free-honey gel on abdominal cesarean incision twice a day for 14 days.
REEDA scale (Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge and Approximation of wound edges) was used to assess wound healing.
Results: The mean REEDA was 2.27 ± 2.46 and 3.91 ± 2.74 (p=0.008) on the 7th day and 0.47 ± 0.84 and 1.59± 1.95 (p=0.002) on the 14th day for the drug and placebo groups, respectively.
Redness, edema and hematoma in the drug group were significantly lower on the 7th and 14th days.
Conclusion: Honey was effective in healing the cesarean section incision.
Using topical honey is suggested as a natural product with rare side effects in order to reduce the complications of cesarean wounds.
