Patient's question:
I used to have a cesarean section surgery, which was a vertical incision, and it has been 5 years. But now my husband's family doesn't know I had a cesarean section. My husband says he doesn't mind, but in the future when I go to the hospital to give birth, his family will definitely go too. At that time, I don't know how to tell them. I want to ask what kind of surgery is the same as a vertical incision cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Strictly speaking, cesarean sections can have either horizontal or vertical incisions. Generally, surgical operations on the abdomen are performed with a vertical incision in the center, while diseases involving pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, and ovarian appendages often require an incision off-center in the lower abdomen. If the incision is horizontal, 99% of the time it is a cesarean section.The statement "cesarean sections have horizontal incisions while other surgeries have vertical incisions" is incorrect. An incision on the lower abdomen does not necessarily mean it is a cesarean section.
In addition to timely treatment, patients with cesarean sections need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive attitude is very helpful for recovery.
