Patient's question:
I just had a cesarean section surgery. I feel a slight pain when I gently press above the incision. What could be the reason for the pain when gently pressing above the cesarean incision?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, a slight pain when gently pressing above the incision should be uterine pain, not an issue with the incision. The incision area after a cesarean section also needs a certain period of time to heal. The dissolving stitches also require about a month to be fully dissolved. Additionally, in the first month after childbirth, the uterus will continuously contract to perform self-recovery, and during this period, there may be pain when gently pressing around the incision. There are many treatment methods for cesarean sections.
