Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please advise on how to do postpartum recovery after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
Even though there may be tenderness for weeks, your pain will be reduced if you support the wound with your hand or use a pillow to press against your stomach when you cough or laugh. If you notice signs of infection, such as fever, redness, or swelling at the wound site; discharge from the wound; worsening or sudden pain; or a fever throughout your body (even if your wound looks fine), seek medical attention promptly.
