How long after giving birth can I take a shower and wash my hair

Women often produce odor due to excessive sweating after giving birth, so they should wash their hair and feet frequently to keep their skin clean. However, if we want to take a bath, it is best to take a shower to prevent dirty water from flowing into the vagina and causing infection, which will lead to many unimaginable diseases and is not good for our health. Let us introduce it in detail below.

First of all, you should know that you can take a bath after a caesarean section, and it is better to take a shower for a short time, 5 to 10 minutes. When washing your hair, do not scratch your scalp hard, just rub it gently. Just use a soft-bristled brush and don't brush too hard. As for how long to wait after a caesarean section, it is actually best to hold on until the full month, because if you are not careful it will only make things more troublesome!

The second aspect is the precautions after cesarean section. It is not advisable to lie flat: the effect of anesthetics disappears after the operation, and the mother feels pain in the wound. The lying position is most sensitive to uterine contraction pain, so she should take a side-lying position with the body and the bed at an angle of 20-30 degrees, and put a quilt or blanket behind her to reduce the vibration and pulling pain of the incision when the body moves. It is not advisable to lie still: After consciousness is restored after the operation, limb activities should be carried out. 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 from causing embolism in other parts of the body.

It is actually not advisable to eat too much after a cesarean section, because if you eat too much after a cesarean section, it will cause abdominal distension, which is not conducive to the recovery of your stomach. Also, be careful to prevent colds, because colds and coughs can affect the healing of your wounds, and severe coughs can even cause incision tears. Therefore, pregnant women who have caught a cold should take medication to treat it in time.
