What is the situation when postpartum wounds experience throbbing pain?

Patient's question:

After a cesarean section for twenty-seven days, the wound inside will ache intermittently. The location of the ache varies. What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

The abdominal incision usually heals with a scar in about seven days. The current pain you're experiencing may be due to the complete recovery of nerves. Your incision is healing well, but since you have relatively thick abdominal fat, it's recommended to have an ultrasound for a thorough examination. This will allow us to check the scar healing of the incision and the complete recovery of the uterus. If the ultrasound examination shows no abnormalities, there is no need to worry.
Recovering from a cesarean section is not easy. As a patient, you should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can you boost your confidence in overcoming the cesarean section and believe that you will surely recover.
