      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:  In this group, after the closure of the uterine myometrium incision, PRP will be directly applied to the uterine myometrium tissue whereas the control group received the usual care. PRP solution will be prepared based on the following steps: 1. Venous blood (30mL) will be drawn from the patient’s arm in anticoagulant-containing tubes; (the recommended temperature during processing is 21℃–24℃ to prevent platelet activation during centrifugation of the blood); 2. The blood will be centrifuged at 1,200 rpm for 12 minutes; 3. The blood separates into three layers: an upper layer that contains platelets and white blood cells, an intermediate thin layer (the buffy coat) that is rich in white blood cells, and a bottom layer that contains red blood cells; 4. The upper and intermediate buffy layers will be transferred to an empty sterile tube. The plasma will be centrifuged again at 3,300 rpm for 7 minutes to help with the formation of soft pellets (erythrocytes and platelets) at the bottom of the tube; 5. The upper two-thirds of the plasma will be discarded because it is platelet-poor plasma.6. Pellets are homogenized in the lower third (5 mL) of the plasma to create the PRP; the PRP will be ready for injection. Approximately 30 mL of venous blood yields 3–5 mL of PRP.7. The prepared PRP solution will be transferred within sterile syringe from the laboratory to the OR 8. Then will be directly applied to the uterine myometrium tissue before skin closure. 9. The patients were examined by the physician on day one, day seven and at day 30 after the procedure. Intervention 2: Control group: In control group cesarean section incision will be closed by the conventional technique(without PRP injection).</i_freetext>
