What’s the current C-section delivery cost in India?

As per the treatment package, success rate, severity of the mother’s condition, medications required, and many other factors, the C-section cost ranges from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 1,75,000. The cost for a C-section delivery is approximately Rs. 1,15,000.

Who Needs C-Section Delivery?

A C-section, or Caesarean section, is recommended when:

• The baby is in distress.
• Labor is not progressing or the mother cannot push.
• The baby is not in the normal position (e.g., breech, or traversed).
• The baby is too large for a vaginal delivery.
• The mother has had previous C-sections.
• Vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby (e.g., placenta previa, umbilical cord issues, or certain medical conditions like fibroids or infections).
• The mother prefers a surgical delivery.

Types of C-Section Surgeries

Radiofrequency Ablation is classified into three different types as follows:

Elective C-section

This happens because the mother has chosen this type of birth, which usually takes place before the mother enters the labour phase. This method can also be preferred due to certain medical conditions.

Unplanned C-section

An unplanned C-section is usually performed when the fetus is in distress or labor is not progressing due to complications. It is divided into three categories: Category 1, for life-threatening conditions requiring immediate delivery within 30 minutes; Category 2, for complications affecting the mother or baby; and Category 3, for early delivery, such as in cases of premature birth.

Factors Affecting the C-Section Delivery Cost in India

• Insurance coverage
• Pre- and postoperative care
• Type of anaesthetic used
• OB-GYN’s expertise and experience
• The hospital’s reputation, infrastructure, and location
• The type of hospital room the patient chooses
• The severity of the surgery
• The complexity of the pregnancy
• Patient’s age and health status
• Any government subsidies or policies

How is the C-Section Procedure Performed?

Before surgery, the patient is taken to the operating room and positioned on the table, where they receive intravenous fluids and medication. A spinal anaesthetic is administered to numb the lower body, allowing the patient to stay awake during the birth. A horizontal incision, about 10-20 cm long, is made just below the abdomen. During delivery, the patient may feel a slight pushing sensation as the baby is gently extracted. The entire procedure, including suturing the incision, usually lasts 45–50 minutes, with the incision typically healing within a week post-surgery.

Benefits of the C-Section

• Reduces pain during and after surgery.
• Minimizes the strain on the abdominal muscles.
• Lowers the risk of incontinence.
• Promotes a quicker healing time.
• Decreases the risk of performance issues during sexual activity.
• Eliminates the risk of oxygen deprivation for the baby during delivery.
• Reduces the chance of trauma to the baby during vaginal birth.
• Lowers the likelihood of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), where pelvic organs drop from their position.

Post-operative Care and Recovery

• As a major surgery, a C-section requires an extended recovery period. After delivery, patients are advised to rest for several hours and to take additional rest after each meal to promote better healing.
• Gradual increase in daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or bathing.
• Patients are instructed to track and maintain records for any signs of infection, such as pain, rigours, or chills, or any signs of weakness, such as feeling lethargic, drowsy, or having constant thirst.
• Our doctors recommend that patients maintain a nutritious diet to support a healthy breast milk supply.
• Have an effective and quick pain management system.
• New mothers are advised to prioritize self-care, like seeking assistance in strenuous activities, monitoring their emotional growth, and facilitating bonding with the baby.
