Patient's question:
Doctor, hello and happy New Year. My wife had a cesarean section 46 days ago. The wound had healed earlier, but recently a small opening has appeared, and you can see the inside flesh. In this situation, should we focus on using disinfectant for sterilization, or is there a better option? Is it possible that the wound suture has opened, so there's no need for stitching anymore?Doctor's answer:
From your description and pictures, it should be the reopening of the wound after healing, related to factors such as abdominal pressure and the fragile skin at the wound healing site. I'm glad to assist you. Regarding your wife's condition, she should go to a public hospital's surgical department to have the wound properly treated, such as debridement. In addition to caring for the wound after a cesarean section, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
