How long does it take for the uterus to recover after a cesarean section?

It takes about two months for the uterus to recover to its normal non-pregnant state after a cesarean section. The speed of uterine recovery after a cesarean section varies from person to person. 1. The uterus of pregnant women who exclusively breastfeed repairs relatively quickly, and the more frequently they breastfeed, the faster the uterus repairs. Because during the process of breastfeeding, when the baby sucks the nipple, the sucking stimulation will produce endogenous oxytocin, which promotes uterine contractions. 2. After the operation, the mood is relaxed and the mentality is good, which will make the body's hormone metabolism normal and promote uterine repair.

After the operation, moderate exercise and reasonable time arrangement, such as postpartum yoga, can accelerate uterine repair by stimulating uterine contractions reflexively. 4. After the operation, Chinese medicine conditioning can promote uterine repair. For example, according to the physical condition of the pregnant woman, taking Shenghua Tang or Jizi Yimucao granules can remove blood stasis in the uterus and promote the regeneration of new blood, promote the discharge of postpartum lochia and speed up uterine repair.

It is very important to take care of yourself after a cesarean section, mainly because during this period of time you need to carefully recuperate, replenish nutrients, and restore your vitality. The following issues need to be paid attention to: First, the care of the wound. After cesarean section, keep the wound clean every day and try not to touch it to prevent infection and scarring. The second is the care of the perineum. Because the body's resistance is reduced during the confinement period, it is easy to cause intestinal flora imbalance in the vagina, so cleaning and care of the perineum is very important. The third is the medical care of the uterus. You can massage the uterus to increase uterine contractions, and at the same time encourage breastfeeding, which can promote uterine contractions and make the uterus recover as soon as possible. Fourth, the health care of the body. After cesarean section, it is generally required to eat light and easily digestible foods. It is best to eat foods rich in vitamins and fruits to promote gastrointestinal function and prevent constipation.

After a cesarean section, it takes about 30 to 40 days for the uterus to repair. During this time frame, the wounds on the surface of the uterus can slowly repair themselves. At the same time, the uterine wall is also slowly recovering to normal. However, in order to completely restore the uterine wall to its pre-delivery thickness, it is recommended to actively rest for about half a year and avoid sexual intercourse as much as possible. This will allow the thickness of the uterine wall to recover and allow the test tube embryo to implant and grow in the uterine cavity when you become pregnant again.
