How to care for abdominal pain after cesarean section

In fact, being a mother is not easy, especially for some career-oriented women. They need to spend more time adjusting their lives. Caesarean section may also cause some abdominal pain. Let us learn about the care methods for abdominal pain after caesarean section.

Care methods:

Drink plenty of water: Within three to five days after delivery, the mother's body is still very weak. The wound is still painful, and the young mother will feel constipated and swollen, which is caused by anesthesia, so drinking plenty of water is very necessary. It is best to drink hot tea and water that is not lower than room temperature, which can promote intestinal peristalsis.

Timely bowel movements: After a caesarean section, due to the pain, people are afraid to exert force on their abdomen, and urine and feces cannot be excreted in time, which can easily lead to urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, you should follow a normal schedule, develop habits, and go to the bathroom in time.

Please ask all family members to help: mothers who have a caesarean section are usually discharged from the hospital in 5-7 days. Before being discharged from the hospital, the young mother needs to find helpers who can help her share housework, cooking and taking care of the children.

Diet: After the mother has passed gas, her diet can be changed from liquid to semi-liquid. The food should be nutritious and easy to digest. You can choose egg soup, porridge, noodles, etc., and then gradually return to normal diet depending on the mother's physical condition. You can drink confinement soup such as pigeon soup, black chicken soup, black fish soup, and pig's trotter soup 72 hours after the operation. It can not only help the body function recovery but also help milk production. However, it is best to cook these soups in a casserole and remove the floating oil after cooking. Do not add any irritating seasonings such as pepper, fennel, onion, garlic, ginger, etc. to soup within one week. Do not carry any weight within two months after delivery: Now the baby is everything to the young mother. At this time, do not lift anything heavier than your baby. As the baby grows taller and gains weight day by day, the mother's strength will gradually increase. You can try walking up the stairs about two months after giving birth. It is enough to go up and down one floor a day. At the beginning, the amount of exercise may even be less than this.

Don't drive yourself: Don't drive yourself in the first two or three weeks after giving birth. It is still difficult for new mothers to press the clutch, brake and accelerator at this time, and they may not be able to respond quickly when encountering an emergency.

Exercise: You can start doing some pelvic exercises. This is a very simple but effective exercise: mothers first try to contract the vaginal muscles, and then try to lift the vagina, count to ten, and then relax.

The above article introduces in detail some care methods for belly pain after cesarean section. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination.
