Uterine contraction pain after cesarean section

Cesarean section is a minimally invasive surgery that directly removes the fetus from the uterus rather than delivering it through the birth canal. Therefore, the body will be in a relatively weak state after the operation, and wound healing also requires effective medical care. Therefore, after a cesarean section, it is imperative to make reasonable adjustments in multiple aspects such as work and rest time, labor, and diet to allow the body to recover quickly and avoid the occurrence of other complications. How long will the pain last after a cesarean section?

Cesarean section is a method that can expel lochia relatively quickly. After all, after the operation, the doctor needs to press gently on the pregnant woman's abdomen to promote the effective contraction of the uterus as soon as possible and discharge the lochia completely. Therefore, when the doctor repeatedly presses gently on the abdomen, the speed and amount of lochia discharge in the uterine cavity will undoubtedly be much better than the effect of natural delivery. Therefore, the time of uterine contraction pain after cesarean section is relatively short, and the pain only lasts about 5 to 10 days, which can prevent the body from experiencing painful conditions.

Under normal circumstances, the duration of uterine contractions after cesarean section will not be too long. Generally, the uterine contractions will be more obvious during the early discharge of lochia. However, after the discharge of lochia reaches a certain level, the functioning of the uterus will be fully restored, and the pain during uterine contractions will gradually ease. Generally, after a caesarean section, women should rest in bed more and work less. They don't need to supplement their diet immediately, but they should eat relatively light food in the first week to allow the body's postpartum lochia to be discharged effectively and avoid malnutrition. After about ten days, the problem of uterine contraction pain will be completely stopped.

According to the above information, the duration of uterine contraction pain after cesarean section is about 5 to 10 days. When the physical recovery state of the individual after giving birth is different, there will undoubtedly be certain impact and fluctuation on the specific number of uterine contractions. Therefore, after cesarean section, women should make relevant adjustments in diet, work and rest time, labor and other aspects to make the physical fitness basically recovered and avoid continuous uterine contraction pain.
