Is it completely naked during a caesarean section?

Patient's question:

This is my first pregnancy, and it's just a few days away from the due date. I plan to have a cesarean section, so I just wanted to ask, is it necessary to be completely naked during a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Cesarean sections are usually performed with the patient completely naked. This is because during a cesarean section, an incision is made on the abdomen, and the area 20 centimeters above and below the incision line must be sterilized. Therefore, it is generally required that the patient be completely naked. If you are planning to have a cesarean section, it is advisable to mentally prepare for this.
After a cesarean section, it is important to pay attention to proper rest and recovery. Generally, bed rest for about a month is recommended. In fact, having a cesarean section is not at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of alleviating the symptoms and recovering are very high.
