Do you have to undress completely for a cesarean section?

During a cesarean section, patients are required to remove all clothing, but this does not mean they will be completely uncovered. This is primarily done to prevent infection and ensure the smooth progress of the surgery.

The operating room will also provide specialized surgical gowns or sterile drapes to ensure appropriate coverage of the patient's private areas, exposing only the surgical site. This practice facilitates surgical procedures and helps maintain a sterile surgical environment, reducing the risk of infection.

Prior to the surgery, medical staff will thoroughly explain the surgical process, including preparation steps, so the patient understands and can cooperate. At the same time, medical personnel will strictly adhere to medical ethics and patient privacy protection principles, respecting each patient's dignity and right to privacy, while patients are also expected to follow medical instructions.
