What should I do if there is pus in the incision after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Postpartum wound discharge, discharge without realizing it, only found out 20 days after discharge. What should I do? How to deal with postpartum wound discharge?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, there is an infection in the cesarean section wound. Taking medication may not be very effective. It is recommended to sterilize and change the dressing to remove the purulent exudate completely. It should be quite simple, but it is still best to go to the hospital to see what to do and let the doctor change it. The daily treatment for cesarean section patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with some vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. Cesarean section patients can receive treatment as soon as possible!
