Patient's question:
After 10 days of cesarean section, the stitches were removed. After the stitches were removed, I noticed that there was oil leaking from the wound. Is it fat vaporization? Can fat vaporization directly lead to a second debridement, or is it necessary to place a drain? Does a drain involve forcefully cutting open the wound and inserting gauze?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to serve you. According to your description, it is necessary to consider fat liquefaction. Currently, only the vaporized fat needs to be drained. Depending on the situation, a second-stage debridement may be performed, or it may not be necessary. If the fat is vaporized and the wound has not healed well, it will be easy to insert gauze. The condition of cesarean section is very serious, and it is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment, with the hope that the patient can receive symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care training, proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition. The above answers are hoped to assist you, thank you.
