What should I do if the incision from a cesarean section hasn't healed well?

Patient's question:

Doctor, how can I take care of my cesarean section incision that hasn't healed well? I realized it hasn't healed well, and I'm so worried!!

Doctor's answer:

If the wound repair after cesarean section is not properly done, it may also lead to fibrosis or pain, etc. Therefore, it is important to carefully observe the redness and swelling. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up in a few days. Generally, the wound can gradually heal normally within about 3 months. However, in terms of diet, spicy foods should still be avoided, and local care with iodophor or other sterilizing agents is advisable. At the same time, it is important to rest more and avoid excessive stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from cesarean section.
In addition, during the treatment for cesarean section, apart from immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and anxiety to prevent any unnecessary interference with the full recovery from cesarean section.
