Hysterotomy thread not absorbed and suppurating how?

Patient's question:

Last week I had a cesarean section at the hospital, but I noticed that the suture thread from the cesarean section is not healing and is inflamed. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a recurrence of unabsorbed sutures after cesarean section, or even inflammation and other infectious phenomena, it is necessary to enhance wound sterilization and anti-inflammatory measures. If the issue persists and cannot be resolved, or if there is fat vaporization, secondary surgical debridement may be necessary if circumstances require. Avoid contact with water for the time being to prevent infection from worsening. Eat more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in vitamins to aid digestion, and reduce the intake of spicy and greasy foods. Pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion to prevent the onset of postpartum illness.
