Why is the wound of a woman still itchy after 7 months?

Patient's question:

But the wound is still a bit itchy at night, and the wound (incision) area is red and swollen.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you have had a cesarean section for 7 months, and your abdominal wound still feels a bit itchy at night. There is a raised red line at the wound site, and you want to know what this is and how to treat it. Your condition is normal, so there is no need to worry too much.
After a cesarean section, the local fascia and peripheral nerves are more severely damaged, and complete recovery takes some time. The slight itching in your wound now indicates that the peripheral nerves are gradually healing, which is normal. Every person's recovery time varies, with some recovering more quickly and others taking longer. On average, it takes about 1.5 years to fully recover. Therefore, you don't need to hurry.
