Do I need to go to the hospital to have the stitches removed after giving birth if I have a hole and stitches?

Patient's question:

Third caesarean section for 20 days, the incision has holes and stitches, and it still feels red. Do I need to go to the hospital to have the stitches removed? How should I solve this? I hope the doctor can help me.

Doctor's answer:

The situation you described is best addressed by returning to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital where you had the cesarean section for a follow-up visit. Let a professional doctor examine how it can be transmitted and provide symptomatic treatment. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and diet, avoid strenuous exercise, prevent the wound from getting wet, and avoid spicy, cold, and other irritating foods. Always keep the wound clean and dry. There are many treatment methods for cesarean sections, but since the symptoms of the patients are different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon discovering symptoms.
