What is the reason for itching and discharge of pus from the wound more than a year after cesarean section?

Patient's question:

My child is now 1 year and 2 months old. Two days ago, I noticed that there was pus oozing from the incision after my Caesarean section, and I felt pain in the area with a lump when pressed. No thorough examination or treatment has been done yet. I don't know what methods can cure it.

Doctor's answer:

The situation you described is that there has been local pain and discharge from the wound for more than a year after cesarean section. This condition is mostly considered to be caused by local inflammation, but it can also be due to the presence of foreign bodies in the abdomen. Currently, it is recommended to actively go to the hospital to examine the local condition, and also undergo ultrasound and blood tests to clarify the actual situation. Once the examination confirms the presence of local inflammation, it is advisable to receive penicillin + metronidazole under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
