Patient's question:
I ran back and forth to the hospital for one and a half months, and three months after debridement and suture removal, I noticed a small, water-filled bump the size of a peanut protruding from the wound. It wasn’t painful, felt soft, and seemed like water was inside. What could be the reason? When it burst, I found a piece of uncut thread (a visible suture). It didn’t hurt when I pulled it, so I cut it off and pulled it out. I cleaned the rotten flesh on the thread and sterilized it. I no longer trust the hospital now.Now, the wound surface has formed a red, uneven line with multiple hard bumps. I’m a bit worried. What should I do about the abdominal wound from my C-section due to fat liquefaction?
Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a mild fat vaporization from the wound, which is not a big issue. Pay attention to cleaning off the remnants, and then perform sterilization, debridement, and dressing changes. Be mindful of whether you have a fever or any discomfort. If the wound does not heal and form a scar, it is best to collect a bacterial culture for examination.Regarding the wound surface, individual skin types vary, and some are prone to scarring. The patient is facing the challenges of a cesarean section, and we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments. Do not hesitate to seek medical attention. If the cesarean section wound does not heal despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
