Hello! With the question "after giving birth, does a cough causing abdominal pain affect the incision?" Your doctor recommends that you visit your doctor and do tests to treat a postpartum cough. As for the cesarean section, if you currently have no vaginal bleeding or ongoing abdominal pain even when you don't cough, you can continue to monitor it at home until your follow-up visit 4 weeks after the baby is born. However, if you have the above symptoms, you need to go to the hospital soon for a doctor to examine and evaluate. You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to get more advice from doctors.
