Patient's question:
I am 33 years old and preparing to have a child. I think I might need a cesarean section. Can I have a cesarean section at 38 weeks in breech position?Doctor's answer:
At 38 weeks of pregnancy, breech presentation can be addressed through a cesarean section. Additionally, it is important to maintain a left lateral position and closely monitor fetal movement. If there is any vaginal discharge, it is necessary to promptly seek medical attention for a thorough examination to prevent cord prolapse.At 38 weeks, the fetus is already mature, making it possible to decide on a cesarean section. Post-surgery, it is important to rest properly and ensure adequate nutrition. Cesarean section patients can complement professional medical treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness and never overeat.
