Presentation
The results should also not be generalised to the preterm breech presentation or to twin pregnancies in which the first fetus is presenting cephalic and the second twin is presenting breech. [doi.org]
Here, we present a case of delayed uterine rupture that occurred 4 weeks after cesarean section following intercourse. A 31-year-old postpartum woman, gravida 4, para 1, abortion 3, underwent a cesarean section for prolonged labor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Pain
The patient's pain characteristics were similar to the pain characteristics of her right arm during her previous CRPS episode 13 years earlier. In addition, mechanical allodynia around the incision area was confirmed after surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These symptoms could include: fever worsening pain increased vaginal bleeding increased redness at the incision site drainage or swelling of the surgical incision breast pain with redness or fever foul-smelling vaginal discharge pain when urinating Speak [medicalnewstoday.com]

- Swelling
Post-surgery exercise for your legs, toes and feet while in bed may prevent swelling and clotting that occurs because of inactivity. [livestrong.com]
Risks to you Some of the main risks to you of having a caesarean include: infection of the wound (common) – causing redness, swelling, increasing pain and discharge from the wound infection of the womb lining (common) – symptoms include a fever, tummy [nhs.uk]
Swelling After a C-Section You probably expect some swelling around the incision, but swelling in the face and extremities is something many new moms aren’t prepared for. [thebump.com]
Wear loose clothing and look for signs of infection (such as redness, pain, swelling of the wound or bad-smelling discharge). Report these to the doctor or midwife. The incision will heal over the next few weeks. [ranzcog.edu.au]
Redness and swelling in your leg or groin. You have trouble passing urine or stool, especially if you have pain or swelling in your lower belly. [uwhealth.org]
- Weakness
However, these studies have methodological weaknesses with potential for bias and their findings should be interpreted with caution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Due to their increased cost, high rates of unnecessary caesarean sections can pull resources away from other services in overloaded and weak health systems. [who.int]
- Fatigue
When you go home During the C-section recovery process, discomfort and fatigue are common. To promote healing: Take it easy. Rest when possible. Try to keep everything that you and your baby might need within reach. [mayoclinic.org]
[…] abdomen drink plenty of fluids to replace those lost during your cesarean delivery avoid sex for four to six weeks take pain medications as needed seek help if you experience symptoms of postpartum depression, such as severe mood swings or overwhelming fatigue [healthline.com]
The symptomatology of dry eye syndrome, in addition to ocular dryness, is usually: Burning sensation Eye redness Heaviness in the eyelids Pain in the eye Sensitivity to light (photophobia) Gritty sensation Blurry vision Visual fatigue that hinders everyday [icrcat.com]
C-section is major surgery, and recovery takes about six weeks (not counting the fatigue of new motherhood). In the weeks ahead, you will need to focus on healing, getting as much rest as possible, and bonding with your baby — nothing else. [medicinenet.com]
Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
A 35-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and abdominal distension on the third day after cesarean section delivery. Under a suspicion of acute pancreatitis, she was initially managed with conservative treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, compromised uterus (ie, fibroid tumors, surgery), cardiovascular disease, hypertension or hypotension, renal or hepatic impairment; associated with GI distress, flushing, headache, arrhythmias, angina, uterine rupture, dyspnea [web.archive.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Constipation
Water and Magnesium Many people get constipated after surgery and this can be especially painful after a cesarean (or a vaginal birth!) [wellnessmama.com]
You could also suffer from constipation and have difficulty moving around and tending to your baby. For these reasons you will probably stay in hospital for 5-6 days. [kidspot.com.au]
Bowel problems, such as constipation or when the intestines stop moving waste material normally ( ileus ). Injury to another organ (such as the bladder). This can occur during surgery. Maternal death (very rare). [uwhealth.org]
Drink plenty of water to help with your milk supply and to help avoid constipation. C-sections scars fade over time. They'll get smaller and become a natural skin color in the weeks and months after delivery. [kidshealth.org]

- Flatulence
However, few previous reports described therapeutic effects of acupuncture in women with flatulence after cesarean delivery. We reported a case of 29-year-old woman with abdominal flatulence after cesarean section. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Thrombosis
However, variable coagulation factor defects are relatively common in patients with Fontan circulation, and may predispose such patients to either increased risk of thrombosis or coagulopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] lining (common) – symptoms include a fever, tummy pain, abnormal vaginal discharge and heavy vaginal bleeding excessive bleeding (uncommon) – this may require a blood transfusion in severe cases, or possibly further surgery to stop the bleeding deep vein thrombosis [nhs.uk]
A new study published in CHEST determined that there is a link between CS and an increased absolute risk of VTE, including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. [sciencedaily.com]
C-sections increase your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot in one of the veins of your legs, the Mayo Clinic reports. Untreated blood clots may travel to your lungs, block your lung's arteries and cause death. [livestrong.com]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report suggesting anaphylaxis caused by the rocuronium-sugammadex complex. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Jianmen Liu of Peking University found 20 studies that link C-sections to type 1 diabetes, 23 studies that suggested a tie with asthma and another nine that found an association with obesity. [cbsnews.com]
Fetal Indications for a C-Section In addition, there are conditions related to the baby's health that would prompt the doctor to suggest a C-section over a vaginal delivery. These conditions may not be known in advance of the baby's birth. [pregnancy.familyeducation.com]
- Fear
Fear of uncontrollable labor pain and fear of physical damage were primary reasons for preferring a CS. Both fear of childbirth and preferences for CS declined as the level of confidence in women's knowledge of pregnancy and birth increased. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
And it creates fear, for some a fear of dying.” M1 Midwife Several women complained about lack of staff and support in the postnatal ward. [bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com]
Onset
- Neonatal Onset
Citrullinemia type 2 has two forms: neonatal onset and adult onset. The neonatal onset form has symptoms that begin in the newborn period. It is typically characterized by poor growth and liver disease. [my46.org]
Citrullinemia type 1 can present at any age with acute neonatal- or early-onset (28 days or earlier) hyperammonemic coma or late-onset (later than 28 days) disease manifestation. [medlink.com]
Adult-onset type II citrullinemia may also develop in people who as infants had a liver disorder called neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD). [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Four patients had homozygous or compound heterozygous splicing/frameshift mutations, resulting in neonatal onsets and with poor outcomes, and thus were classified as having neonatal CTLN1. [bmcmedgenet.biomedcentral.com]
Urogenital
- Cesarean Section
Cesarean section, also called C-section, cesarean also spelled caesarian, surgical removal of a fetus from the uterus through an abdominal incision. [britannica.com]
FINDINGS: Of the 29,270 pregnant women included in the study, 49% had cesarean sections while 51% gave birth vaginally. Repeat cesarean section accounted for 23% while vaginal birth after cesarean accounted for only 0.2% of deliveries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Headache
The most common complication of spinal anesthesia is the postdural puncture headache. When severe and persistent headache after spinal anesthesia occur, differential diagnosis can be explored. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
"The most common complication of this type of anesthesia is a post dural puncture headache," Strong notes. "This headache tends to be self-limited and resolves in several days even without treatment." 4. [self.com]
Plus, I’ve had a headache during the last part of the pregnancy due to high blood pressure. I weighed the pros and cons and had a talk with my obstetrician, and then we agreed that a caesarean section would be the right solution for me. [hvidovrehospital.dk]

The symptomatology of dry eye syndrome, in addition to ocular dryness, is usually: Burning sensation Eye redness Heaviness in the eyelids Pain in the eye Sensitivity to light (photophobia) Gritty sensation Blurry vision Visual fatigue that hinders everyday [icrcat.com]
Common symptoms are: Irritation of eyes Burning sensations of eyes. Foreign body sensation in eyes. Mucoid discharge. Transient blurring or fluctuation of vision. Excessive tearing (due to reflex secretion in response of dry eye). [aimu.us]
- Dizziness
You'll need to start slowly—walking to and from the bathroom, for instance—and with help from your nurse, as you may be a bit dizzy when you first get up. Soon enough you'll be able to take a stroll around your hospital floor. [fitpregnancy.com]

The theoretical concerns of neonatal antibiotic exposure include the masking of neonatal infection, interference with sepsis workup and the selection of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial strains in both neonatal colonization and infection ( Cunningham 1983 [doi.org]
Treatment
Diagnosis and treatment of isthmocele is usually performed in a second time after a successful treatment of CSP. In this case, a surgical treatment including the removal of the residual CSP and treatment of the isthmocele may be proposed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy usually shows a good prognosis, but if this myopathy develops during the perinatal period, it can worsen because of excessive preload following the termination of fetoplacental circulation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiological factors underlying the link between CS and PPHN are still poorly understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The basic pathophysiology of CTLN2 is likely the persistent and cumulative energy deficit of the hepatocytes ( Figure 3 ). Figure 3 Fatty liver in citrin deficiency. [dovepress.com]
Multiple case reports established an epidemiological link between citrin deficiency and hepatocellular carcinoma; however, the underlying pathophysiology is not well understood ( Chanprasert and Scaglia 2015 ). [medlink.com]
