Which complication is a potential risk of a C-section?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is indeed a potential complication following a cesarean section (C-section). After surgery, patients may have a higher risk of UTIs due to factors such as urinary catheterization, which is commonly used during the procedure, and changes in mobility that can hinder normal urinary function. The surgical incision and the presence of a catheter can predispose patients to bacterial colonization and potentially lead to an infection.

In contrast, the other options are less commonly associated with C-sections. Increased risk of sleep apnea, migraine incidences, and chronic fatigue syndrome are not typical complications linked specifically to the surgical process of a cesarean delivery. These conditions may have other causes and are not direct outcomes of C-sections, emphasizing why a urinary tract infection is the most relevant and supported complication in this scenario.
