What causes pain in the left lower abdomen after childbirth?

Giving birth is something that every woman must experience in her life. There are two ways of giving birth, one is caesarean section and the other is natural birth. There are many things we don’t know after natural birth. Some people will have abdominal pain after giving birth, which is also relatively normal. Here are some reasons for abdominal pain. I hope you will not worry too much after understanding them.

A method of childbirth. Natural birth is much better than caesarean section. At least the baby is intact and without defects after birth. This is the biggest temptation for women who love beauty. Caesarean section is a surgical procedure that can cause harm to the mother.

For example, anesthesia accidents, intraoperative or postoperative bleeding, damage to the bladder, ureters, and intestines during surgery, postoperative infections such as peritonitis and sepsis, etc. The postpartum hemorrhage rate of cesarean section is high, the puerperal infection rate is 10 to 20 times that of vaginal delivery, and the maternal mortality rate is 5 times that of vaginal delivery.

Natural birth is also better for the baby. Vaginal delivery is a natural physiological process. During the delivery process, most of the fluid in the fetal respiratory tract is discharged through the squeezing of the birth canal, which is conducive to the establishment of respiratory circulation after birth. Newborns delivered by caesarean section often have fluid retention in the respiratory tract, so there is a greater chance of suffocation and respiratory complications.

We already know the reasons. After giving birth, for the sake of our health, we must have a good rest. It is best not to wash hands with cold water. The baby's clothes, diapers, etc. should be left to others to pack. We just need to take good care of the baby, especially not lifting heavy objects.
