In Summary


  • Normal delivery is associated with a lower risk of postoperative infections compared to C-sections.
  • Since C-sections involve a surgical incision, there is an increased risk of infection at the incision site.

Normal delivery (vaginal birth) and Cesarean section (C-section) are two different methods of childbirth, each with its own set of benefits and considerations.

Women who have a normal delivery generally experience a shorter recovery period compared to those who undergo a C-section. Vaginal birth typically involves less trauma to the body, leading to quicker healing.

Normal delivery is associated with a lower risk of postoperative infections compared to C-sections. Since C-sections involve a surgical incision, there is an increased risk of infection at the incision site.
