What should I do if I have abdominal pain after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should I deal with stomach pain after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the incision on the abdominal wall after a cesarean section can heal completely within seven days post-surgery. However, the recovery of fine sensation often requires a longer period of time.
Some women, during a cesarean section, may fail to thoroughly clean the abdominal wall incision, leaving uterine endometrium behind in the wound. If the endometrium grows in the incision, it can form a painful lump, which becomes more pronounced during the menstrual period. Post-cesarean surgery often leads to pelvic adhesions, and this type of abdominal pain is usually dull and localized. It is best to seek medical attention promptly to confirm the diagnosis.
