A C-section is major surgery, so it does carry some risks. Here is a brief overview of some risks associated with this procedure.
Infection in the surgery wound: This infection may cause excessive redness, swelling, pain, and fluid discharge from the wound.
Infection in the womb lining: Symptoms of this infection include abnormal vaginal discharge, fever, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding.
