I'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?
A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.
