Reyansh Khan, 34, is a software...
Reyansh Khan, 34, is a software engineer and a new father. His wife, Priya, had a traumatic emergency C-section six months ago. While Priya recovered well initially, she developed persistent, watery, foul-smelling discharge and a dull ache at the surgical site. Intimacy became painful, and she was deeply self-conscious. Their OB-GYN, Dr. Mehta, diagnosed a large, inflamed area of granulation tissue (proud flesh) at the top of her C-section scar, a common but distressing complication where healing tissue overgrows. Dr. Mehta recommended minor surgery to cauterize the tissue with silver nitrate, explaining it was quick and would resolve the symptoms. During the in-office procedure, Priya felt only a brief, mild sting. Within a week, the discharge stopped and the tenderness faded. Emotionally, Reyansh felt helpless watching his wife struggle post-childbirth. After the procedure, he felt immense relief and gratitude that this final hurdle to her full recovery was cleared, allowing them to focus on their joy as a new family.
