How do you know if you have an infected incision from a c section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By looking : You will need to look at your incision. Pus draining out is an obvious sign. If it is red, swollen, and tender this is another sign. If you have fever then that's more evidence. If you aren't sure you should be seen by a doctor.
