How should I treat the pain from a cesarean section wound one month after the operation?

Patient's question:

Doctor: Could you please tell me that I have had a cesarean section for 36 days now, and the wound inside still hurts a lot. I have taken some Duotie Lading capsules, but it hasn't improved yet (I used absorbable sutures). What should I do? Especially after holding the baby, the wound inside feels like a burning pain at night!

Doctor's answer:

I believe your description is likely due to poor wound healing causing discomfort. Clinically, some cesarean section patients may experience such discomfort for more than six months. Don't worry. It is recommended that you apply heat to the wound locally, undergo physical therapy, and receive massage treatment, which will help your wound recover. Generally, doctors advise patients with postpartum consultation risks to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
