Patient's question:
I'm afraid of pain, so I want to have a cesarean section, but I'm also worried about leaving scars. I want to ask everyone how long the scar is after a woman has a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you mentioned. After a cesarean section, the scar can still be quite long, potentially reaching about 7 to 10 centimeters. For those with a tendency to keloid scars, the scarring may be more severe, possibly leading to recurrent scar hyperplasia, which can be a concern for appearance. Therefore, regardless of the delivery method, there is a certain degree of harm to the body. After a cesarean section, it is important to rest for a period of time and avoid strenuous exercise.
