Patient's question:
After a cesarean section, when taking a shower, something needs to be on the wound to prevent the wound from getting infected due to prolonged soaking in water.Doctor's answer:
From your description, it is essential to wait until the incision heals well before taking a bath after a cesarean section. The healing time is significantly longer, at least requiring 4 weeks. You can apply an external skin protective film to prevent it from getting wet. In addition to caring for the wound after a cesarean section, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life, avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and maintaining a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
