Cesarean section is a surgical method other than vaginal delivery, in which the fetus and its appendages are removed by cutting open the abdomen and uterus of the mother. With the continuous development and progress of medical technology, cesarean section technology has gradually matured and can be used as an effective and safe surgery for difficult labor and high-risk pregnancy to save the lives of mother and child in time. However, the operation may be complicated by adverse conditions such as bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs. It is recommended that mothers choose a regular medical institution to reduce the above risks. In addition, after a cesarean section, scars will be left on the abdomen, affecting the appearance. Mothers can choose laser scar removal, dermabrasion scar removal, microneedle scar removal and other medical beauty technologies to remove them according to their own conditions.

Technical/surgical risks
1. Bleeding: Incomplete hemostasis during surgery and poor uterine contraction can lead to postoperative bleeding. Doctors should actively identify the cause and replenish blood volume in time to avoid hemorrhagic shock.
2. Infection: Failure to strictly follow aseptic operation during surgery and poor postoperative care can lead to infection. The mother may have symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, and odorous lochia. At this time, the doctor should use antibiotics in time, change the dressing regularly, and strengthen postoperative care to control the infection.
3. Damage to surrounding organs: During surgery, organs adjacent to the uterus, such as the bladder and rectum, may be damaged. Once discovered, they should be repaired in time.
4. Others: such as amniotic fluid embolism, poor wound healing, neonatal brachial plexus injury, etc.
Postoperative Care
After cesarean section, attention should be paid to local care, medication management, diet conditioning, and lifestyle behavior management.
1. Local care: Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and uterine contraction, and keep the abdominal incision dressing dry and clean.
2. Medication management: Use oxytocin as prescribed by the doctor to promote uterine contraction. In addition, antibiotics should also be used to prevent infection.
3. Diet adjustment: Do not drink water within 6 hours after the operation. After the gas is discharged, you can gradually add liquid food with less residue such as rice paste and rice porridge, then change to lighter soft food, and then gradually return to a normal diet.
4. Lifestyle management: Lie flat without a pillow for 6 hours after the operation, turn over frequently after 6 hours. You can get out of bed and move around 1 day after the operation, but you should avoid strenuous exercise within a short period of time, and do not cough or laugh violently.
