What should I do if there is pus at the C-section incision?

Patient's question:

Postpartum on the 37th day, there is a little pus and some redness and swelling in the incision. Can I use sterilization?

Doctor's answer:

Post Cesarean Section for 37 days, the scar is red and swollen with pus, possibly due to suture material reaction. You should gently squeeze it a bit, and sometimes the suture material may come out with the discharge. After that, use sterilization for two or three days. If it doesn't improve, go to the hospital and ask a doctor to help you.
The daily care for cesarean section patients mainly involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. We hope cesarean section patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
