Patient's question:
I have had a cesarean section for about a week now. Currently, there is yellow fluid leaking from my cesarean wound, and it hurts a bit with some redness and swelling. What could be the reason for this? What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to inflammation in the local wound. Currently, the discharge is increasing, accompanied by redness, swelling, and pain. It is recommended to apply povidone-iodine daily and use hydrogen peroxide for cleaning. If the topical medication does not show improvement, it is advisable to visit a hospital for some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking medication, it is important to appropriately enhance nutrition, avoid overtime work, and boost your immunity to speed up the wound's healing process.In addition to receiving proper medical treatment for a cesarean section, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should carefully choose a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
