A member asked:
What needs to happen is a c-section incision leaks but isn't open from what we can tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leaking incision: Incisions can leak if there is an infection or collection of fluid called a seroma. It's more important that the next layer down remains closed. This is called the facial layer. I suggest you follow up with your surgeon so that they may check your incision.
