What are the symptoms of poor uterine recovery after cesarean section?

Women can give birth through natural birth or caesarean section. The recovery time for natural birth will be faster. Some women need to give birth through caesarean section due to malposition of the fetus, too little amniotic fluid, placenta previa, etc. Cesarean section will cause less damage to the vagina. If you do not pay attention to your own care after delivery, the uterus will not recover well and you need to seek medical attention in time. Understanding the symptoms of poor uterine recovery after cesarean section can better play a preventive role.

Normally the uterus will return to normal 42 days after delivery. If it does not recover well, there will be vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, abnormal secretions with a foul odor, etc. If you take good care of yourself during the confinement period and do not have the above symptoms, you have already recovered. If you have any of the above symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

The time it takes for the uterus to recover after a cesarean section is generally slightly longer than that for a normal birth. If the uterus does not recover well, the first thing that will appear is continuous lochia. If you still have continuous lochia, you need to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time to understand the recovery of the uterus.

If the uterus does not recover well after a cesarean section, some discomfort symptoms will appear.
