Patient's question:
I've had a C-section for 17 days now, and there's a small wound that hasn't healed yet, with only pus oozing out. Can I use infrared light?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, after a cesarean section surgery for 17 days, there is a small wound that has not yet healed, with pus oozing out. This situation is considered a wound infection. It is recommended to implement wound dressing changes along with infrared therapy while paying attention to wound hygiene to prevent further infection. For the patient, if the cesarean condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean condition. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone. Thank you.
