A member asked:
My wife had a c-section two days ago. how long should she stay with dressing over wound? midwife removed it today, is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Studies show that there is no increase in the risk of infection as long as the dressing is left on for at least 24 hours. Our mothers were right! Wounds heal faster if you let the air get to them!
