What to do if your incision hurts four months after a cesarean section

Keep an eye on the incision after surgery. If there is no redness, swelling, bleeding or oozing from the abdominal incision, or if there is no abnormal mass, it can be observed for the time being, and hot compresses can be applied to relieve the patient’s pain. Normally, attention should be paid to personal hygiene, avoid eating too spicy, stimulating food. If the pain is severe and persistent without relief, it is recommended to check the pelvic ultrasound to see the condition of uterine adnexa and pelvis, to understand the healing of uterine incision. Examine the abdominal wall ultrasound to see if there is a limited subcutaneous mass. If there is a limited mass with significant tenderness, a general surgery or gynecology consultation is needed to see if surgical removal is required. If the ultrasound examination of the abdominal wall does not reveal any abnormalities, no special treatment is needed. Pay attention to hygiene, pay attention to diet, appropriate activities, do not sit for a long time.
