Caesarean section to relieve gas

When women give birth, there are usually two ways: natural birth and caesarean section. Not all people are suitable for natural birth. Some pregnant women need to undergo caesarean section. However, there are many precautions after the caesarean section. Generally, after the caesarean section, it is necessary to exhaust gas first, and then you can eat after exhausting gas. What is the fastest way to exhaust gas after caesarean section?

What is the quickest way to pass gas during a cesarean section?

First, farting. The way to promote farting is radish soup. Although the mother cannot eat before passing gas, she can drink some soup appropriately, but just avoid overeating. Because white radish is a vegetable that we are more familiar with, this food has the effect of helping to expel gas, so drinking white radish soup after surgery can promote gas discharge and allow the mother to fart as soon as possible.

Second, massage the abdomen. Family members can rub their hands together to warm them up and then help the patient massage the abdomen. This can have a good effect on expelling gas and defecation. However, be careful not to use too much force when massaging the abdomen, and be careful to stay away from the patient's wound to avoid causing referred pain.

Third, get up and move around. Generally, the mother should get up and move around appropriately on the second day. This will not only help intestinal peristalsis, but also help her to fart as soon as possible. The mother will pass gas when she starts to get up and move around, and then she can eat some semi-liquid food appropriately, step by step.

Precautions after cesarean section

After a cesarean section, the mother should take good care of her wound, avoid strenuous exercise or lifting heavy objects, and avoid crying, laughing, or coughing. Otherwise, it may cause wound pain or even rupture. Do not stay in bed every day after surgery. Appropriate movement of feet is beneficial to your body's recovery. In addition, contraceptive measures must be taken after a caesarean section to avoid pregnancy again within a short period of time, which may cause uterine rupture and other phenomena.

Dietary adjustment for flatulence after cesarean section

1. Strict fasting for 6 hours after cesarean section

After a caesarean section, the doctor will tell the new mother to strictly fast for 6 hours after delivery. Because at this time, the effect of the anesthetic has not been completely eliminated. Eating at this time may cause the new mother to choke, vomit, etc.

2. Liquid food can be taken 6-8 hours after cesarean section

6-8 hours after cesarean section, although the mother has not yet passed gas, the doctor may tell you that you can drink appropriate amounts of water and eat light, easily digestible liquid foods such as lotus root powder and rice soup. However, new mothers should be careful not to eat foods that are difficult to digest and produce gas, such as milk. New mothers can drink small amounts and multiple times at this time, for example, once every 2-4 hours, 50-100ml each time. This can not only promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and allow the mother to pass gas as soon as possible, but also avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

3. You should also pay attention to your diet after the gas is discharged after cesarean section

After the new mother successfully passes gas, she can eat foods that are easily digestible and rich in protein and vitamins. Within 1-2 days after the intestinal gas is discharged, the mother can insist on eating semi-liquid foods such as steamed egg custard, porridge, noodles, etc., and then she can eat normally.
