Patient's question:
I started experiencing some redness at the upper part of my incision one month and two days after my C-section, with some pain when pressed, but not very painful. The area around the wound is very hard.Past treatment history and effectiveness: It has been four days now, and I haven't received any treatment yet.
What kind of help I am seeking: I hope to understand whether my condition might be due to an infection inside the wound. Or could it be a lingering aftereffect from an allergic reaction to shrimp I had two days ago?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the situation you mentioned has issues post-caesarean section. In fact, considering the symptoms you have, it is still possible that it is caused by fibrosis of local scar tissue, and it may not necessarily be an infection. Of course, if you are concerned, you can decide to have a re-examination at a formal hospital, which is more trustworthy. An ultrasound can be performed to directly address the post-caesarean difficulties. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the post-caesarean condition does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly change the treatment plan.
