Patient's question:
I'm getting older, so my husband has been suggesting that I have a cesarean section, fearing that many problems may occur during the delivery process. What are the pros and cons of a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a cesarean section is a relatively safe surgery. As age increases, if a natural birth is chosen, it may lead to amniotic fluid embolism or severe bleeding. Therefore, it is generally recommended to opt for a cesarean section for older women. Cesarean sections can easily cause deficiency of both qi and blood, so postoperative recovery is quite important, and there will be severe pain. The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly involves medication, and patients can take many oral medications.
