Patient's question:
Patient Age: 25Current General Condition: 50 days post-caesarean section. The wound area is somewhat hard.
Numbness above the wound, with only slight pain when pinched but pain when lightly touched.
1. Is this sensation normal?
2. How long does the overall recovery take after a caesarean section?
3. How long before sexual activity can be resumed?
4. How long before pregnancy can be attempted again? Can natural childbirth be chosen during the next delivery?
Doctor's answer:
Abdominal binders are medical products. Generally, doctors recommend that postpartum mothers use abdominal binders on the first day after delivery to help expel uterine residue and speed up postpartum recovery. However, caesarean section mothers will have abdominal wounds after surgery, so they cannot use abdominal binders immediately to avoid wound infection. Doctors usually advise caesarean section mothers to use abdominal binders only after the wound has fully healed, which is generally around two months later.
