Inability to defecate after cesarean section

Nowadays, many women are unable to choose natural childbirth due to some reasons, so they will choose cesarean section. In this case, they will have to endure too much pain after the operation. Some women will experience constipation after a cesarean section. So what should you do if you have constipation after a cesarean section? Next, let’s learn about the nursing knowledge after cesarean section.

1. What should I do if I can’t defecate after a cesarean section?

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are rich in cellulose and vitamins. Eating these foods regularly can effectively help people defecate. Intake of cellulose can cleanse the intestines and stomach. It is very effective in dealing with the problem of constipation after cesarean section, and it will not cause any impact on the body of pregnant women.

2. Drink plenty of water

Pregnant women who have difficulty defecating after cesarean section must replenish more water in the body. Drinking more water can allow the bifidobacteria in the body to multiply rapidly, which can then have the effect of moisturizing the intestines, promoting bowel movements and accelerating gastrointestinal function.

3. Get enough sleep

After giving birth, pregnant women must pay attention to their life patterns. If they do not have regular sleep, their blood circulation will slow down. Good sleep can ensure that their body is more unobstructed and their gastrointestinal function is stronger, thus accelerating the excretion of waste.

2. What are the medical care methods for scars after cesarean section?

1. Do not remove the scab of the wound after surgery. Removing the scab too early will remove the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, even tear off the dermis, and irritate the wound to cause itching;

2. Prevent sunlight exposure and avoid ultraviolet light stimulation and pigmentation;

3. Apply some topical medicines such as Fuqingsong, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching;

4. Improve the diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, skin and meat, etc. which are rich in vitamin C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve skin metabolism. Do not eat spicy food, onion, ginger, garlic and other irritating foods.

Women must pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits after cesarean section, ensure that they have adequate sleep habits, do a good job of wound care, and reduce the chance of infection. The above are some solutions to the problem of being unable to defecate after cesarean section. I hope it will be helpful for women to recover as soon as possible after cesarean section.
