I have stomach pain 20 days after cesarean section

Although it is easier for women to choose cesarean section during the delivery process, the recovery time after cesarean section is relatively long, and the female body is prone to some abnormal conditions after cesarean section. Because cesarean section mainly involves giving birth by leaving the woman's belly open, it will leave a scar on the woman's body. After giving birth, women should also pay attention to taking care of their scars. But why do some women experience abdominal pain 20 days after cesarean section?

It takes a long time for the incision to recover to normal after a cesarean section, and there will be slight pain during this period. If the patient has abdominal pain about 20 days after the operation, and the symptoms are not very serious, and there are no other abnormal symptoms, it is believed that the incision has not yet recovered. At this time, you don’t need to worry for the time being. You can wait for about a month to go to the hospital for a check-up to understand the recovery of the wound and the uterus.

However, the patient's pain is quite severe. In addition to abdominal pain, there are also abnormal symptoms such as vaginal bleeding. It should be taken seriously and be alert to the possibility that it is caused by intrauterine infection. It is necessary to go to a professional hospital for a follow-up examination. The patient should actively cooperate with the doctor to conduct B-ultrasound examination and, if necessary, routine leucorrhea examination. After the infection is confirmed, active symptomatic treatment should be carried out and timely use of anti-infection therapy is more effective.

It can be seen from this that whether abdominal pain 20 days after a cesarean section is normal or not cannot be generalized. It should be judged based on the patient's symptoms and physical condition. If any abnormality is found, it must be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. The best time for treatment must not be delayed, otherwise it may cause harm to the patient's health. During this period, it is important to maintain good living habits and a reasonable diet. Eat more nutritious food after the operation.

Female friends who have undergone cesarean section must take good care of the wound. The wound should not be exposed to water too early, otherwise it will easily become infected and inflamed. If the wound shows symptoms such as severe pain, redness, swelling, and exudation, oral and topical anti-infection drugs should be used in time for treatment. This will prevent the patient's condition from developing seriously. Pay attention to rest during this period.
