45 days post-caesarean section, debridement pain

Patient's question:

I have been post-Caesarean for 45 days. Recently, there are hard lumps at the four corners of my horizontal incision, and it feels a bit painful. The hard lump on the left side of the suture is more noticeable, and the horizontal incision site where debridement was performed is a bit itchy. I want to know if it's normal to have pain from debridement after 45 days post-Caesarean?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, please wait and see how the debridement area looks, in addition to the symptoms of redness and heat. If these symptoms are present, it may indicate some inflammation. Additionally, a wound may not have fully healed 45 days after childbirth, which is related to individual constitution. You should still avoid strenuous exercise and pay attention to hygiene, keeping the wound dry at all times. After bathing, gently dry the wound area as soon as possible. If necessary, take anti-inflammatory medication under the guidance of a doctor.
Furthermore, for cesarean section patients during recovery, diet and care are also crucial. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activity to avoid unnecessary harm.
