Patient's question:
After a Cesarean section for 17 days, tonight after using alcohol to sterilize the wound, suddenly stomach pain occurred. I am breastfeeding.Doctor's answer:
Is the stomach pain localized to the wound area or inside the stomach? If the pain is at the wound, it might be related to the incision. If the pain is inside the stomach, it's not necessarily related to the incision or alcohol sterilization. Sometimes, improper diet can also cause such abdominal pain. It depends on the severity and duration of the pain. Is it a transient issue? If it's temporary, it's not a big concern. However, if the pain persists and cannot be relieved, it's recommended to visit the emergency department. At 17 days post-wound, it is usually expected that scarring would have begun.
