Patient's question:
I was planning to have a natural birth, but the doctor told me that the baby's umbilical cord was tightly wrapped around his neck, so a cesarean section was necessary. What level of surgery is a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Due to the umbilical cord, a cesarean section was decided. The cesarean section surgery is classified as a second-degree surgery, and rest and proper nutrition should be paid attention to after the operation. After the catheter is removed, gradual bed-to-walk exercises should be performed to promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance, and aid in full recovery. Additionally, postoperative wound dressing changes should be done regularly to prevent the recurrence of wound infection. In addition to timely treatment for the cesarean section, friends should maintain a positive attitude in facing the illness.
