How to Care for Your Abdomen After a Cesarean Section

Patient's question:

After 40 days, two ultrasound examinations showed poor wound healing with a 1722 low-echo area, and 19mm of pelvic effusion. Later, three more ultrasound examinations showed good wound healing, but there was still 12mm of effusion. The last ultrasound examination showed that the pelvic effusion had disappeared, but I still dare not touch it. If I touch the wound area and the skin below the navel, it hurts.
Past treatment and effectiveness: Chinese herbal enemas, physical therapy, and light therapy did not work.
What kind of help is desired: What is the cause? How can it be diagnosed? What tests should be done? I have had ultrasounds, but nothing significant has been found. What should I do? I can't hold a child because if the child kicks my stomach, it hurts. I can't touch it either.

Doctor's answer:

It could be a reaction to the abortion thread after surgery. Advice: Post-surgery, if there are bleeding points from the abortion thread, clean the incision. Some people may react to the thread, leading to inflammation. It is recommended to use hot and cold compresses frequently, which will alleviate the symptoms. Cesarean section patients can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding professional medical care. Proper diet should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
