What is the reason for some pain on the right side of the incision after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I have had a cesarean section for 80 days now. The incision is vertical, and it has already healed, but today I noticed that when I press on the left side of the incision, there is no pain. However, when I press on the right side of the incision, there is some pain, and it feels quite hard. My incision was stitched with absorbable suture. Could it be that the inside wasn't cleaned properly? Could it be that the inside wasn't cleaned properly?

Doctor's answer:

Sometimes the surface incision does not overlap with the inside, so what you feel on the right side is the deep part of the incision. Some hard, scarred fibrosis is normal. If there is no redness, swelling, or significant pain, it should not be a major issue. Moreover, the surgery was so short in duration, so wait a bit longer and see if there are any changes. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Cesarean section conditions can be very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice and receive symptomatic treatment.
