Can I wash my feet during the confinement period after a caesarean section? The first month after giving birth is the best opportunity for women to improve their physical fitness. If they are well maintained, some previous diseases will be cured; if they are not well maintained, they will plant hidden dangers for their own health. Because of this, people attach great importance to confinement. The older generation also has many inappropriate taboos, such as: no foot washing, no bathing, no brushing teeth... The so-called extremes lead to the opposite. It is also necessary to maintain good hygiene during the confinement period. If the method is appropriate, washing feet is still ok.

After giving birth, the period of confinement is what we Chinese attach great importance to. Confinement is the best opportunity for women to improve their physical fitness in their life. During this special period, if properly maintained, women's urinary system and endocrine system can be regulated and repaired; if not careful and improperly regulated, the recovery will be slow and even counterproductive. Precisely because confinement is so important, people are extra careful. The older generation has many strict confinement taboos: no washing your hair, no bathing, no washing your feet, no brushing your teeth... In fact, these are all misconceptions about confinement. As long as you use warm water of about 40 degrees, wipe it as soon as possible, avoid hair dryers, and avoid catching a cold, everything will be fine.

There are many aspects that need attention during the confinement period, and you cannot take chances. For example, you can't be sad and cry, and you can't use your mobile phone or computer for a long time, otherwise it will damage your eyesight. Because of poor gastrointestinal condition, you cannot eat cold food, otherwise it will affect the body's recovery and the baby's gastrointestinal tract. Do not use a hair dryer to prevent cold and dampness from entering the body and causing fever, colds, rheumatism, joint pain, diarrhea, etc. After the operation, you should improve your lifestyle and health, exercise more, and avoid intestinal adhesion and thrombosis. You should also rest more, because without proper rest, it is easy to cause bleeding, back pain, abdominal pain, and poor spirits.

The key reason why cesarean section is not as good as natural birth is that natural birth is a natural method of delivery, which causes less harm to the fetus and the pregnant mother, and the pregnant woman can recover quickly. After all, cesarean section is a surgical treatment. There is a lot of bleeding during the operation, and it takes a long time for the body to recover. Especially when you need to pay attention to the wound, if you cough, feel nauseous or vomit, you should press on both sides of the wound to prevent the sutures from breaking. If there is fluid oozing from the wound, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
