Patient's question:
I just had a C-section and have been in severe pain recently, especially at the incision site. How many days does it take for the incision pain to subside after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum cesarean section can result in certain psychological trauma, so experiencing a certain degree of pain again is a normal phenomenon. The pain gradually subsides after 72 hours post-surgery. However, if significant pain accompanied by redness and swelling reoccurs, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of a surgical site infection. If this is the case, immediate sterilization and dressing changes are required, while maintaining local dryness and ensuring proper wound drainage.In addition to treating the cesarean section, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
