C-Section (Cesarean Section) Services

A Cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. This procedure is typically recommended when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby’s health. Dr. Nirmala Chandrashekar, with her expertise in obstetrics and gynecology, provides compassionate and professional C-section care, ensuring the safety and comfort of both mother and child.

Why a C-Section May Be Recommended

A C-section might be planned in advance or done as an emergency procedure if complications arise during labor. Common reasons include:

  • Multiple pregnancies (such as twins or triplets)
  • Fetal distress, where the baby’s heart rate shows signs of stress
  • Abnormal fetal positioning, such as breech or transverse positions
  • Labor complications, including prolonged labor or failure to progress
  • Maternal health concerns, such as high blood pressure or infections
  • Placental issues, including placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix

Dr. Nirmala carefully evaluates each case to determine whether a C-section is the safest option, considering the unique circumstances and medical needs of each patient.

The C-Section Procedure

The C-section procedure is typically performed under regional anesthesia, allowing the mother to remain awake and involved in the birth experience while minimizing discomfort. During the procedure:

  1. Preparation: The surgical team will prepare the mother, including monitoring vital signs and administering anesthesia.
  2. Incision: A small incision is made in the lower abdomen and another in the uterus.
  3. Delivery: The baby is gently lifted out through the incision, and the umbilical cord is cut.
  4. Closure: The incisions are then carefully closed with sutures or staples.

Dr. Nirmala and her team prioritize a smooth and safe delivery process, ensuring that each step is performed with precision and care.

Recovery After a C-Section

Recovery after a C-section generally requires a hospital stay of 2-4 days, followed by several weeks of rest at home. Dr. Nirmala provides comprehensive aftercare, which includes:

  • Pain management to ease discomfort
  • Guidance on wound care to prevent infections
  • Follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and manage any complications
  • Support for breastfeeding and newborn care, if desired

Patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous activities and to take gentle care of themselves to promote healing.
