What is the reason for the hard lump in the cesarean section incision?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section about two years ago. In the past year, hard lumps have started to grow on one side of the incision, and sometimes they are very painful, especially during my period when the pain is particularly severe. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring this condition may be related to individual constitution, possibly indicating a keloid-prone tendency, which could lead to the reappearance of hard lumps and localized pain. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid exposure to cold and overexertion. You can apply local cold compresses, but ensure they are not too hot to prevent burns. If you are still not confident, an ultrasound examination can be performed.
Cesarean section complications are serious, and patients should seek immediate medical treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be addressed, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
