Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Pain is common after any surgery, especially after a cesarean section. Not only does the wound hurt, but there is also pain from uterine contractions. However, the pain usually improves significantly after 24 hours. Pain relievers can be used appropriately, but they are generally not needed after 24 hours. Overuse of pain relievers is not beneficial for the wound and can also hinder uterine contractions and recovery.
