Is An Untreated Abscess Around An Old C-section Scar A Matter Of Concern Before Another C-section Surgery?

I have a boil/abscess on the left side of my csection scar. I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant and will be having a repeat csection in about 4-5 weeks. I’ve been trying warm compress to help it drain but no luck. Is this something terrible that will be drastic if not gone before surgery?

Hi,

You should be consulting your obstetrician and take necessary antimicrobials to treat the abscess before next LSCS.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
