A member asked:

I had a cesarean section 5 days ago. its starting to smell really bad and i do have stomach that hangs over it. i also take a shower every day pat dry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wound infection: The smell may not just come from trapped moisture and wound secretions with skin-skin contact, but from a wound infection in deeper layers of the incision. Have it checked out and don't wait until you run an elevated body temperature.
