Patient's question:
After the surgery, since I was taking care of the baby myself, the wound in the middle became inflamed about ten days later. However, it healed before the full moon. Due to my concern about the wound, I didn't follow the old rural custom of steaming it. Because on the 31st day, I washed my hair with hot water mixed with tap water, I'm wondering if it might leave behind any lingering issues like rheumatism.Doctor's answer:
Recovery after surgery is good, there is no need to do steam bath. Postpartum walking and sitting are normal physical activities, no problem. After the full moon, you should still take warm water baths and wash your hair. Using cold water is not good, it may cause headaches. Cesarean section is a disease that is not easy to heal. Friends who have undergone cesarean section should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they reduce the confidence of patients in combating cesarean section and believe that they can definitely recover.
