Patient's question:
When giving birth, I had a cesarean section due to difficult labor, and it has been 18 days since the surgery. I still feel pain inside the incision. Is it normal for the incision to hurt 18 days after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
At 18 days post Cesarean section, the abdominal pain you're experiencing for about two weeks is likely due to the pain caused by the uterus contracting and fully recovering. Carefully observe if there are any abnormalities in your lochia (postpartum discharge) currently, and check for any signs of fever. If there's no fever and your lochia is normal, the pain is probably due to uterine contractions. It's recommended that you don't worry too much, as it's normal to experience pain during the full recovery of the uterus, which generally takes about six weeks.In addition to timely treatment for the Cesarean section, friends who have undergone the procedure should maintain a positive mindset to face the illness. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it's important to pay attention to dietary care and ensure a balanced nutrition, allowing the body to digest nutrients effectively. It is believed that this will help drive away the effects of the Cesarean section.
