Patient's question:
Where is the area cut during a cesarean section? I asked the doctor, is the episiotomy cut inside the vaginal opening or on the skin of the vaginal opening?Doctor's answer:
A cesarean section involves using scissors to cut the skin of the perineum, which includes part of the vaginal canal and perineal tissue, such as the outer labia. It does not affect the inner labia. After the incision, the birth canal can be widened to prevent tearing of the perineum during fetal delivery. There is no pain during the incision, only a slight discomfort during stitching. After stitching, there is usually no significant impact.After a cesarean section, it is recommended to wait three years before trying to conceive again. The more cesarean sections a woman has, the greater the difficulty. Generally, two or three cesarean sections are considered normal.
