Patient's question:
I am eight and a half months pregnant. Normally, I would be almost two months away from giving birth, but a few days ago, I had severe abdominal pain that felt like I was about to give birth. It was preterm labor. I went to the hospital and had a cesarean section. I would like to ask how many days it takes for the horizontal incision from a cesarean section to heal?Doctor's answer:
For the transverse incision of a cesarean section, most of them recover relatively quickly because they are not subjected to pulling. Scarring usually occurs around 5 days. After a cesarean section, appropriate exercise can promote intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial for preventing the recurrence of postpartum intestinal adhesion. It can also help avoid postpartum constipation. During this stage, it is important to enhance nutrition, which can aid in the gradual recovery of the body.
