Patient's question:
My wife noticed that her abdomen is still high and protruding after a cesarean section, with the incision (8-9mm transverse) on the upper abdomen, while the lower abdomen is flat. Is this a problem with the surgery? If it's normal, how long does it usually take to fully recover? Is it necessary to use a girdle to correct it?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, the lower abdomen has become very flat, but the upper abdomen is still high. This should be checked at the hospital first. It is important to examine the complete recovery of the uterus and also check if the wound has not healed completely. If the wound looks healed, you can start exercising and can also use a girdle to aid in full recovery.Facing the challenges of a cesarean section, we should actively implement examinations and treatments, without avoiding medical visits. If the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment for a cesarean section, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
