How many days after a caesarean section can the plaster be removed?

Patient's question:

Hello, on which day after cesarean section can the dressing be removed? I have absorbable sutures. Please let the doctor know how many days. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Post Cesarean Section, change the dressing after five days, and you can remove the sterile gauze from your incision in two or three more days. After changing the dressing on the fifth day post-surgery, you can come back in two or three days to remove the sterile gauze from your wound. It should not be a major issue.
In addition, during the treatment for a Cesarean section, in addition to timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient should avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the recovery from the Cesarean section.
