Patient's question:
I and my classmate were both born via cesarean section within about a month. But now that my child is almost two years old, my incision still looks the same as right after the surgery. My classmate's incision has almost become a straight line and is almost invisible. Are all cesarean section incisions a straight line? Am I not fully recovered?Doctor's answer:
The surgical incisions are the same, but the healing and scar formation after surgery can vary from person to person. This is due to individual differences in constitution. Some people have a tendency to form keloids, so they may develop noticeable postoperative scars. However, over time, these scars will gradually soften. As long as the incision remains dry, without redness, swelling, or pain, and without any leakage, it is considered normal. There is no need to worry—just let nature take its course.When patients face the risks of cesarean delivery, we should promptly adhere to the principle of symptomatic treatment. Avoid delaying medical consultation. If the condition does not improve despite treatment, it is essential to switch to a new treatment plan in a timely manner.
