A cesarean section, or C-section, is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby. During this surgery, an incision is made in the abdomen and uterus, and then the baby is removed through the opening. Possible complications associated with a cesarean section can include infections, hemorrhoids, minor bleeding, or constipation. The risk for complications is higher for women who are overweight or who use alcohol, tobacco products, or other drugs. It can take four to six weeks to recover from this surgery.
