C - Section Myths and Misconceptions
Dr. Dhivya R, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist at Kauvery Hospital, Electronic City, addresses common myths about Cesarean sections (C-sections). While some believe C-sections are an easy option, they are major surgeries with risks like infection, organ injury, and prolonged recovery. Pain may persist for several days, and back pain can occur due to spinal anesthesia. C-sections are recommended based on the mother’s and baby’s health. Women can still breastfeed and bond with their baby, and vaginal delivery is possible after a C-section if conditions permit.
