Patient's question:
I've been having abdominal pain for seven days after a C-section! It feels hard to the touch, and there's also pain when pressing around the navel!Doctor's answer:
Postpartum uterine contractions are a normal phenomenon. Breastfeeding can enhance uterine contraction, which may lead to mild pain, a normal physiological occurrence. The complete recovery of the uterus after childbirth requires a process. Currently, the fundus of the uterus cannot be level with the navel, and you are still experiencing pain. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to assess the condition of uterine involution, the status of the incision, and to check for any uterine cavity blood accumulation or incisional hematoma.
