When is the gauze removed for a cesarean section on November 13th?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section on November 13th and used a type of sutureless debridement that doesn't require stitches. I want to know when the gauze on the incision is usually removed?

Doctor's answer:

Your situation is about the re-bandaging of gauze for the debridement of the caesarean incision. It is recommended that you can remove the gauze after ten days. After removal, you can gently clean the area. After cleaning, use povidone-iodine for sterilization. In addition to treating the caesarean section, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood. It is also important to ensure adequate sleep to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
