Patient's question:
On the 19th day after the second C-section, the wound has formed a scab. Accidentally, I touched it a little with my hand, and there seems to be some infection at that part. Can I use iodine to kill the bacteria?Doctor's answer:
After reading your description of the condition, I feel it shouldn't be a major issue, as it's hard to confirm without a photo. If there are signs of infection, use povidone-iodine to clean the wound, and there's no problem—just relax. It's crucial to always keep the incision clean to prevent infection. In addition to timely treatment for the cesarean section, friends who are patients should maintain a positive attitude and face the illness head-on. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding cold or stimulating foods, believing that this will surely drive away the cesarean section.
