Patient's question:
I had a C-section about a year and a half ago. Now I feel a bit regretful that I didn't take good care of myself after the surgery. The special foods that were specially prepared for me weren't eaten much. Now I want to eat more foods rich in collagen, like pigskin, to make up for it. I wonder if it's still effective to supplement now. It's said that my uterus has completely recovered. Is it useless to supplement anymore? I want to supplement more now to help the wound heal better, especially the inside. The outside has recovered quite well and is no longer very noticeable. I'd like to ask the experts if supplementation still works now. Thanks!Doctor's answer:
The wound from a cesarean section heals completely within 7 to 10 days. During these days, pay attention to nutrition to prevent infection. The specific function of the uterus will be fully restored within a year, and what you eat now basically has no effect on it.Advice: As long as the wound heals well and there are no discomforts, there is no need to worry too much. Wishing you good health.
For patients, if the condition after a cesarean section is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean section. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
