How long after a C-section can one take a bath?

Patient's question:

I am a non-stripping type. I was originally in good condition, but after 15 days of being on the right side, there was a 4 cm concentration. Now that it's been a full moon, can I take a bath to reduce swelling? How long after a C-section can I take a bath?

Doctor's answer:

This depends on the complete recovery of the wound. Generally, you can take a bath after about fifteen days. According to your description, since the wound became inflamed again around fifteen days, if it has now fully recovered, taking a bath should not be a problem. For severe cesarean section patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
