A member asked:

I had c section on 29/06/2017,10days ago! i don't have any pain now.the incision site feels little hard to touch.is this normal? hw long it takes hea

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: Congratulations. It takes 6 weeks to heal from a csection and during that time your incision may feel a little hard because there is inflammation there to assist with healing. If you have severe pain, get a fever, have drainage from your wound you should see your ob right away
