This case report presents the medical path of a 24-year-old female patient, who had undergone lower (uterine) segment cesarean section (LSCS) while facing complications of having several diagnoses at the same time, including primary peritoneal serous cancer, sexually transmitted disease (STD), and IgM-positive dengue. The prevention and treatment of STDs require an integrated approach due to the persistent problems they provide in the global healthcare system. In India, there is a high birth rate, which makes LSCS a common treatment. The combination of dengue fever, STDs, cancer care, and such issues related to women's health emphasizes the necessity of specialized interventions to reduce the risk of problems both during and after pregnancy. A sophisticated, multidisciplinary approach to postoperative care is required due to the confluence of these disorders, with physiotherapy and rehabilitation serving as a crucial treatment approach. The patient received breathing exercises along with core strengthening exercises. For relaxation, Benson's relaxation technique was used. Significant improvement was seen in the patient's muscle strength and quality of life post rehabilitation.
