Why does the wound hurt after a Caesarean section for half a month?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section two weeks ago. The incision has started to form a scab and is almost healed. In the evening, when I take a nap, there's a little pain inside the incision. Why is that?

Doctor's answer:

You've been having a Caesarean section for half a month, and the incision has already healed and the stitches have been removed. When you take a nap at night, there's a bit of pain inside the incision, which might be due to the tightening of the incision scar or a reaction to the suture. Don't worry. It's recommended to apply a cold compress to the incision before going to bed, and the pain will usually disappear after some time. In addition to timely medical treatment for the Caesarean section, patients also need to pay attention to postoperative care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
