When can the incision from a cesarean section completely heal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The incision from a cesarean section generally heals within about a week. However, some people may experience delayed healing if they develop an infection or have very low albumin levels. Typically, scar formation may occur at the healing site, and there may be a possibility of adhesions in the abdomen. These conditions can cause mild pain at the incision site, occasional itching, and other symptoms.
