Patient's question:
I had a C-section about a month ago, but I feel that my body is not recovering well. The wound is also experiencing pain again. During this month, I have been very careful about taking care of my body, haven't overexerted myself, and haven't had any signs of wound infection. However, the recovery is not progressing as expected. What should I pay attention to regarding the issues after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal to experience pain in the abdominal wound. This may be due to scar fibrosis, which can cause recurring pain, as well as itching, redness, and other symptoms. Once the wound heals properly, there should generally be no major issues. If the pain is not severe, treatment is not necessary. If the pain is severe, further ultrasound examination may be required to rule out inflammation, endometriosis at the incision site, and other conditions. It is essential to take proper contraceptive measures after childbirth.
