Cesarean delivery is a remarkable way to bring life into the world, and taking care of yourself after the surgery is equally important. Dr. Hitesh Patel, a leading gynecologist at Harsh Hospital, Himatnagar, shares valuable tips to help new mothers recover safely and confidently.

Why is Incision Care Important?

Proper incision care after a C-section ensures faster healing, prevents infections, and allows you to focus on bonding with your newborn.

Tips for C-Section Incision Care

1️⃣ Keep the Incision Clean and Dry

• Gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap.
• Avoid scrubbing the incision—pat it dry instead.

2️⃣ Prevent Infections

• Look out for redness, swelling, pain, or unusual discharge.
• Consult your doctor if you notice any of these signs.

3️⃣ Wear Loose and Comfortable Clothing

• Opt for soft, breathable fabrics to avoid irritation around the incision site.

4️⃣ Avoid Strain on the Incision

• Avoid lifting heavy objects or doing intense physical activities.
• Take adequate rest to allow your body to heal.

5️⃣ Maintain a Nutritious Diet

• Eat foods rich in protein, vitamins, and fiber to support healing.
• Stay hydrated to improve overall recovery.

6️⃣ Follow-Up with Your Doctor

• Regular check-ups with your gynecologist ensure the incision is healing properly.

When to Seek Medical Help

🚨 Contact your doctor immediately if you experience:

• High fever
• Severe pain at the incision site
• Unusual or foul-smelling discharge

Care Beyond the Incision
