Post caesarian wound care entails hospital care and home-based care. Post caesarian patients typically stay in the hospital for between three and five days. Upon discharge from the hospital, home-based follow-up care continues until the patient attains full recovery.

The average growth of hair per day (24 hours) is about 0.3-0.4 mm. And this rate remains constant until the hair reaches the last phase of growth (telogen). Hair growth, whether day or night, depends on the three stages of growth: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Anagen is the active stage when hair grows; catagen is the transitional stage, and telogen is the resting phase when you shed your hair. The anagen stage lasts about two to six years. Your hair will add about 0.5 inches every month during this active phase. This growth happens both day and night since your hair growth cycle results from cell division. And as long as the anagen stage is in play, cell division…
