Patient's question:
I am almost nine months pregnant. During a thorough check of the fetal position, it was said that the baby's position is breech. The doctor said that it's impossible to have a natural birth and that I will have to have a cesarean section. This is my first time giving birth, and I don't understand. Hello, is it better to have a transverse cut or a vertical cut for a cesarean section with a breech position?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptom description, which is better between a transverse incision and a vertical incision for a cesarean section? A transverse incision causes less mental trauma and is more aesthetically pleasing, but it may damage abdominal nerves. A vertical incision affects aesthetics and requires a longer recovery time, but it causes less physical damage to the body. Generally, in large hospitals, the decision is often made in favor of a transverse incision. After surgery, pay attention to rest, hygiene, and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods. In fact, having a cesarean section is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
