How long does it take for the swelling down there to go down after a csection?

tkeith8109 · May 13th, 2012, 18:27 PM

I just had my 2nd csection on Tuesday and with my first I was so swollen from pre-e that I never realized how much swelling was from the surgery and what was from the pre-e. This time part under my incision, not the incision itself, but under it where my lady business is, is so swollen. I know it's normal but it's really tender and that's really the only thing that is bothering me right now. About how long does it take for the swelling to go down in that area?

The main swelling went down after about 10-14 days, but the swelling round my scar is still there 14 weeks on x

i had swelling of the labia. i thought it was strange since i had a caesarean and that area wasn't involved. one side was actually bigger than the other! I had redness and irritation. the swelling (and other discomforts) went down in about four days. all has been normal since.

It's been ten days since mine and I'm still swollen, that's the main thing that bothers me! It hurts to wipe
