Why does there be infection in the blood after a cesarean section

Patient's question:

I am a child born via Caesarean section, but after giving birth, I discovered that my wound was infected and it was very painful. I don't know what to do. I would like to consult a doctor. What is post-Caesarean section infection?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum wound infection after cesarean section is possible, as wounds always carry the risk of infection. Additionally, obesity can increase the risk due to fat liquefaction. Currently, it is necessary to strengthen anti-infection treatment and enhance dressing changes. Additionally, local secretion culture and drug sensitivity tests can be performed, and antibiotics can be selected based on the results. Local treatment can also be supplemented with infrared irradiation therapy.
