How long after a cesarean section can the gauze be removed?

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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how long after a C-section can the gauze be removed?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is usually necessary to remove the gauze after 15 days. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, and supplement with multiple vitamins to enhance immunity. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the vulvar area.
