How long does it take to recover from a caesarean section?

The cesarean section method of delivery has gradually been accepted by people. This is a delivery method that is more in line with physiological characteristics. After a cesarean section, a period of recovery time is still needed. During this period, there are many precautions. Let us now understand how long it takes to recover from a cesarean section.

We all know that vaginal delivery is a natural and more physiological way of delivery. The mother will recover quickly after delivery, and the newborn can better adapt to the external environment after passing through the mother's birth canal. However, in some cases, a caesarean section has to be used. After the abdomen is cut open, the fetus is removed from the uterus. Many mothers of this type will experience bleeding after the operation, and to a large extent it will also cause uterine rupture, which is also very harmful to the mother.

Women who have undergone cesarean section must take antibiotics to prevent infection after the operation, and use auxiliary treatment to promote uterine contraction and prevent adhesions. Women who have undergone cesarean section are generally in weak physical condition and need active conditioning and rest. Generally, the body can return to normal in about a month, but everyone's physical body is different, and the time required is also different. Therefore, the "one month" mentioned above is for most people. If you are physically weak, then the time may be longer.

For women who have cesarean sections, anesthetics will be used during the delivery process. Anesthetics can inhibit intestinal peristalsis and cause intestinal flatulence, etc., so you should pay attention to turning over more often to promote intestinal peristalsis, which is also beneficial for nutrient absorption. The abdomen must not be wet or infected within 2 weeks after the operation. In daily life, many people know that they cannot get out of bed right after surgery, but in fact, getting out of bed as soon as possible (within the scope of physical strength) can not only increase intestinal peristalsis and promote uterine repositioning, but also avoid intestinal adhesions, etc.

Different people have different physical constitutions, and the recovery time after caesarean section is also different. After the operation, eating more foods that help wound recovery and body recovery in daily life can effectively shorten the recovery time. If you are not careful in your life, it will prolong the recovery time. If you don’t recover for a long time, it will not be very good for the body. Therefore, for women who have had a caesarean section, they must develop good living habits.
