Is it okay to do ligation directly after caesarean section?

When women give birth, there are generally two ways of delivery: natural childbirth and cesarean section. However, the specific method of delivery is generally determined based on the physical condition of the mother. However, after giving birth, women must pay attention to contraception. Many women undergo sterilization surgery directly after cesarean section. In fact, sterilization during cesarean section generally has no effect on the body. However, you must pay more attention to nutrition after the operation.

Confinement is a critical period for women to regulate their bodies. Many experienced seniors will remind new mothers around them that they must be careful and cautious during the confinement period, otherwise it is easy to suffer from "postpartum wind". "Postpartum wind" is the common name for "postpartum rheumatism". It refers to a disease in which women of childbearing age suffer from soreness and pain in their muscles and joints due to the invasion of rheumatism and cold evil after giving birth or having an abortion.

Postpartum rheumatism is different from common rheumatic diseases, and conventional antirheumatic drugs are usually ineffective. However, experience has shown that traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in reducing "postpartum wind". If combined with various auxiliary therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, laser, and drug acupoint injection therapy, good results can often be achieved, and most new mothers can recover their health.

The diet for postpartum rheumatism should not only be nutritious, but also reasonably matched and nutritionally balanced, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of patients with postpartum rheumatism.

1. New mothers should pay special attention to their diet. Not only should they eat nutritiously, but they should also eat reasonably and nutritionally balanced food. After eating some high-protein, low-fat foods, you should pair them with vegetables, fruits, etc., that is, a combination of meat and vegetables.

2. In winter, you can cut the fruit into pieces and rinse it with boiling water to prevent it from being too cold; you can eat more warm fruits such as grapes, longans, cherries, etc. Recommended ingredients include meat: pork liver, beef, fish; vegetables: carrots, tomatoes, eggplant, pumpkin; fruits: peaches, pineapples, pears; others: dried red dates, black fungus.

3. Avoid eating spicy and cold foods, because these highly irritating foods are very harmful to the weak body of a new mother after childbirth.

4. In addition to normal meals, drink some soup appropriately, especially some lighter soups, such as tremella soup, yam soup, etc., to replenish the water consumed in milk production.

5. Avoid eating chilled fruits in summer.

Caesarean section confinement precautions

1. It is not advisable to lie flat: After the operation, the effect of the anesthetic disappears and the mother feels pain in the wound. The supine position is most sensitive to the pain of uterine contraction, so she should lie on her side with the body at an angle of 20-30 degrees to the bed, and put a quilt or blanket behind her to reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the incision when the body moves.

2. It is not advisable to lie still: After consciousness is restored after the operation, you should engage in limb activities. After 24 hours, you should practice turning over, sitting up, and getting out of bed and moving slowly. This can enhance gastrointestinal motility, expel gas as soon as possible, and prevent intestinal adhesion and thrombosis that may cause embolism in other parts of the body.

3. Do not eat too much: eating too much after cesarean section will cause abdominal distension and increased abdominal pressure, which will hinder recovery. Therefore, you should fast within 6 hours after surgery, and then gradually increase your food intake.

4. Timely bowel movements: After a caesarean section, due to the pain, the mother is afraid to exert force on the abdomen, and urination and defecation cannot be excreted in time, which can easily cause urinary retention and constipation. Therefore, the mother should urinate and defecate in time according to her usual habits after the operation.

5. Prevent colds: Colds and coughs can affect wound healing, and severe coughs can even cause wound tears. Pregnant women who have caught a cold should take medication promptly.
