Patient's question:
On September 4th, I had a C-section delivery. After discharge, I noticed a hard lump above the incision site in my abdomen when touching it. When I felt from top to bottom, it was somewhat cylindrical in shape. Over the past few days, the lump seems to have moved to the position of the incision, making the area around the upper part of the incision hard. Sometimes, when I exert force on my abdomen, I feel pain. What could be the reason? Will it affect anything? After discharge, I have also been using an electromagnetic wave device to warm the incision once or twice a day. Is this okay? What kind of help I am looking for: Why is the area around the incision hard? Are there any disturbances? Can I focus solely on using the electromagnetic wave? When I feel from top to bottom, there is still a hard lump.Doctor's answer:
You are currently in the recovery period. Since it has not been half a month since the cesarean section, theoretically, physical therapy can help you recover to normal. Do not be anxious and pay close attention to observe. You can focus on the electromagnetic therapy for treatment. Be careful not to burn yourself. Pay attention to allowing the baby to nurse, as it can promote the complete recovery of the uterus. Pay attention to rest. The harm brought by cesarean section to patients is very great. Once you notice your symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay more attention to dietary issues, with light food as the foundation. I hope that cesarean section patients can receive professional treatment.
