Why does the cesarean section incision hurt?

1. Pain around the abdomen may be caused by the absorbable sutures used to suture the wound inside the abdomen during cesarean section, which is being absorbed by the human body and produces a foreign body reaction. Although the absorbable sutures can be absorbed by the human body, the absorption process is the process of one or more cells in the human body eating the absorbable sutures. At this time, these cells will stimulate the human body and tell you that there is a foreign body here, which is not a normal human tissue, and you need to pay attention. If this is the case, the skin around the pain is generally harder than the surrounding skin, but not red and swollen. If it is red and swollen, you should go to the hospital for a check-up;

2. It may be that the bladder is inflamed, because during cesarean section, the bladder and uterus are partly close together, and a urine bag is inserted during cesarean section, so the bladder and urethra are easily infected. You always have trouble urinating, which is related to bladder and urethritis. Bladder and urethra stimulation can cause pain, and sometimes you can't tell whether it's the incision pain or the bladder pain. The pain caused by the bladder may be like the incision pain. You can first check a routine urine test and ask your surgeon to check if the incision on your abdomen is inflamed. After the examination, further treatment can be taken.

If so, you should choose some medications to relieve it. Medication is very helpful in relieving incision pain, but the use of medication cannot be long-term.
