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 creating an opening at the right spot in the uterus. The doctor's hands are inserted through the incision into the uterus to gently extract the fetus, which is then handled and processed by the doctor or nurse as usual. The operating doctor then closes the incision on the uterus and subsequently closes the incision on the abdomen.The method for measuring fundal height is as follows: 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 begin at 20 weeks of pregnancy and are taken every 4 weeks. From 28 to 35 weeks of pregnancy, measurements are taken every 2 weeks. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, measurements are taken weekly.
