Patient's question:
On January 9, 2012, I had a cesarean section. Starting from January 10, I had a persistent fever of around 38 degrees Celsius. It was said that there were no abnormalities in the incision. On January 14, I was discharged with the incision still being okay. At home, I continued to take anti-inflammatory medication for 5 days and changed the medication at the hospital for 3 days. On the fourth day, since there was no inflammation or discharge in the incision, I was given incision scar medication, which was said to allow the incision to heal on its own within 7 days. On the seventh day, when I went to the hospital, there was no sign of healing at all.Laboratory tests and examination results: No tests were conducted. Past treatment and effectiveness: Took anti-inflammatory medication for 5 days, changed medication at the hospital for 3 days, and on the fourth day, was given incision scar medication since there was no inflammation or discharge. It was said that the incision would heal on its own within 7 days, but on the seventh day, when I went to the hospital, there was no sign of healing at all.
What kind of help is needed: Looking for advice on how to make the incision heal.
Doctor's answer:
The wound hasn't healed, so it's necessary to check the reason. Sometimes it's an infection, and sometimes it's fat vaporization. If it's resolved, it's necessary to check how there is a collection of liquid and drain it. Clean it until there's no leakage, and later you can use butterfly tape to cover it or perform a second-stage debridement.The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly involves oral medications. The patients can take some oral medications, combined with some vitamins, and pay attention to their diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods. We hope that cesarean section patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
