Patient's question:
I've been having a Caesarean section for six days now. Lying in bed, I can only lie flat. Whether I sleep on my left side or my right side, it doesn't matter. Even a slight turn makes my lower abdomen hurt so intensely, like a muscle being pulled tight, unbearable. My upper abdomen also aches. All in all, it's a feeling that makes my heart ache deeply.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be due to the pulling pain of the wound. However, six days after a cesarean section, it is important to actively exercise to increase the chance of adhesion of abdominal viscera. I suggest you follow your doctor's advice and engage in appropriate exercises, including jumping, sitting, and getting off the bed, but avoid excessive pulling at the incision site. If the pain at the abdominal incision is too severe, you can consider using an abdominal bandage to alleviate the pulling pain. There are many treatment methods for cesarean section, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that they can be treated accordingly.
