Patient's question:
I want to know the pros and cons of cesarean section and vaginal breech birth.Doctor's answer:
Cesarean section is a surgical delivery method. Generally, healthy pregnant women without any medical indications are not advised to choose a cesarean section. Compared to normal vaginal delivery, cesarean section has more complications, increased blood loss during surgery, and a higher risk of postoperative infection. After a cesarean section, it is not possible to resume eating quickly, which can lead to reduced milk production and delay in breastfeeding, making it difficult to feed the baby promptly. Recovery from a cesarean section is also slower than natural vaginal delivery. Typically, women can be discharged 2–4 days after a natural delivery, but it takes 6–7 days for the wound to heal after a cesarean section.
