Patient's question:
At 46 days post-Caesarean section, I might have walked a bit more than usual. After coming home, I noticed some pain at the incision site. It was healing well before, but in the past couple of days, I've noticed a slight redness. Today is the 48th day. There are pictures—first one is from before, and the last two show the slight redness recently. The child's nursing time being too long or sitting for too long causes pain. Is this okay? Besides that, how should I care for the incision in the coming days? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. After a cesarean section, it takes at least a year to fully recover. Currently, you need to rest well and avoid overexertion. The wound should always be kept clean and dry. If you feel discomfort in your abdomen or vulva after giving birth, you can do postpartum rehabilitation. If the wound hurts, you can go to the hospital for red light therapy. The above advice is for the question "I'm 46 days postpartum and walked a bit too much after coming home, feeling some pain in the incision." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
