Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How exactly is a cesarean section performed?Doctor's answer:
Cesarean section, also known as a C-section, involves making an incision at an appropriate location on the pregnant woman's abdomen, followed by an incision at the appropriate position in the uterus. The doctor's hand then extends through the incision to gently remove the fetus, which is subsequently handled and treated by the doctor or nurse. The operating physician then closes the incision on the uterus and subsequently closes the incision on the abdomen.Method for measuring fundal height: After the pregnant woman has urinated, she lies flat on her back. A soft tape measure is used to measure the distance from the midpoint of the superior margin of the symphysis pubis to the fundus of the uterus. Generally, measurements are taken every four weeks starting from the 20th week of pregnancy; every two weeks from the 28th to the 35th week; and weekly from the 36th week onwards.
