Pay attention to the following matters after cesarean section

1. Return to the hospital ward and listen carefully to the instructions of the doctor and nurse. Since the patient's anesthetic is still taking effect, the patient will be in a dormant state or fatigued, so pay attention to observe vaginal bleeding.

2. The patient cannot move within 6-8 hours after the operation. Relatives should make sure to move the patient's hands and legs and massage them to prevent blood clots in the early stages.

3. Encourage patients to turn over and adopt a free posture when they are 6-8 years old. If they lie flat for too long, the spine will be in a passive position and the patient is prone to low back pain. Lying flat is also very likely to cause abdominal pain.

4. At the age of 8, the patient can be given appropriate liquid food to promote the recovery of digestive function, such as porridge.

5. After 24 hours, encourage the patient to get out of bed and move around to promote physical recovery and gastrointestinal repair and avoid the formation of abdominal adhesions.

6. There will be a lot of respiratory secretions after the operation. If you want to cough, you can support the abdominal wound on both sides, sit up, and cough out phlegm as much as possible.

7. Come back for a follow-up visit two months after the confinement period to check the recovery of the uterus. If it recovers well, you can have sex.
