Signs of Complications After C Section: Internal Bleeding, Infection & More

February 21, 2019 by Cardinal LifeCare Consulting

signs of complication after c sectionA C-section is a common procedure performed as an alternative to vaginal birth. For many women, it’s a less painful option, and in some cases, a C-section is the only option to prevent serious complications. Despite the low-risk nature of this procedure, issues can still arise. In this article, we will explore the common signs of complications after C-section.

If you’re an attorney involved in a personal injury or medical malpractice lawsuit related to C-section complications, the team at Cardinal LifeCare Consulting is here to help. We offer objective, evidence-based life care plans and expert testimony in a wide array of medical negligence cases. To find out more about our services, call us today at 724-487-0519.

Common Signs of Complications After a C-Section

After a patient undergoes this procedure, she is typically told to monitor the wound and to look out for any signs of infection after C-section. You should visit a doctor immediately if you notice any of the following symptoms:

  • Pain at the site of the incision
  • Pain in the abdominal region
  • High fever
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Any bleeding containing visible clots
  • Pain in other parts of the body (such as the legs)

Keep in mind that while the signs of internal bleeding after C-section may point to complications as a result of the procedure, this does not necessarily mean the patient has grounds for a medical malpractice claim. To prevail, the plaintiff must demonstrate that another healthcare provider with the same specialization would have acted differently under the same circumstances, resulting in a different outcome. This requires a detailed understanding of the relevant standards of practice, a review of the appropriate medical literature, and possibly expert witness testimony.

At Cardinal LifeCare Consulting, we work with a network of expert witnesses who can assist during negotiations with the insurance company and litigation. We can also put together a life care plan to ensure your client pursues the compensation she will need to afford any ongoing healthcare. To discuss your case with a member of our team and learn about our services, call us today at 724-487-0519.
