A Cesarean section, also referred to as a C-section, is a surgical delivery method for infants. When a woman’s ability to give birth naturally is deemed risky or impossible, this procedure involves making an incision in her abdomen and uterus to remove the child. Complications like breech presentation, placenta previa, or maternal health issues may be to blame for this.

The procedure is typically carried out under anesthesia; the mother and the unborn child must be carefully monitored. Although historically connected to the birth of Julius Caesar, modern C-sections are performed using cutting-edge medical techniques, improving maternal and infant outcomes. Although C-sections are a common and safe procedure, doctors only advise them when absolutely necessary.
