A Caesarean section (C-section) is a surgical method of childbirth in which the baby is delivered through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. This procedure is recommended when a vaginal birth may endanger the health or safety of the mother or baby. Common indications for a C-section include abnormal fetal positioning (such as breech), multiple pregnancies (twins or more), fetal distress, placenta previa, or pre-existing medical conditions in the mother like hypertension or diabetes. In some cases, elective C-sections are planned due to previous surgeries or complications during earlier deliveries.
Though it is a widely practiced and generally safe procedure, a C-section is still classified as major surgery and requires proper medical supervision and a structured recovery plan. The recovery period may be longer than a vaginal delivery, typically involving hospital stay, wound care, and restricted physical activity for a few weeks. With modern surgical techniques and post-operative care, most women recover well and go on to have healthy future pregnancies. At Dr. Pavani Gynae Care Clinic, we ensure that every C-section is carried out with the highest level of precision, safety, and emotional support to safeguard the well-being of both mother and baby.
