Patient's question:
I've been recovering from a cesarean section for seven days now, but the incision still hurts. I see others are already pain-free and can get out of bed and move around freely, but I can't move at all. I'm very worried it's an unexpected complication from the surgery. The wound looks fine, but will it get infected or something?Doctor's answer:
Seven days after cesarean section, the incision is basically healing. As for the pain sensation, it varies from person to person and is related to factors such as the body's complete recovery, pain sensitivity, and the absorption of surgical thread. It is recommended to maintain local cleanliness, apply local cold compresses or therapy to promote local inflammation absorption. Patients facing the effects of cesarean section should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the cesarean section condition does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented promptly.
