Patient's question:
The incision from the caesarean section has two areas that haven't healed, and it's still oozing pus. After applying povidone-iodine for about ten days, the pus turned red, and by the third day, nothing was coming out anymore. Is it okay now?Doctor's answer:
Considering the current recurrence of the condition being severe, it is an incision infection after cesarean section. In this case, it is currently considered that the area where pus is forming has turned red. It is recommended to promptly go to the general surgery department of the hospital for wound sterilization and debridement, and to change dressings regularly. Oral anti-inflammatory medication should also be taken in coordination for treatment. The patient, facing the difficulties of cesarean section, should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatment, and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If the cesarean section condition does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
