How to deal with some pain at both ends of the cesarean section wound?

Patient's question:

Cesarean section, sixteen days postpartum. Last night, I had some pain on both sides of the incision, it was aching. There were no apparent abnormalities on the surface of the wound.

Doctor's answer:

According to the described time and itching/pain conditions of the wound in the aforementioned area, it is considered that the wound has already healed, and the itching/pain may recur during the healing process. It is recommended to wash the wound once a day with warm water, as this may help alleviate the itching/pain. There should be no major issues. Do not worry. For severe cesarean section patients, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
