What is the cause of abdominal pain after cesarean section?

Lower abdominal distension and pain after cesarean section is a common problem, but it cannot be ignored. The cause must be clearly understood, because if you do not pay attention to healthy diet after delivery, or if you are infected by some bacteria, this symptom will also be caused.

1. Pregnant women have a recovery process after childbirth. Generally, the main symptom of postpartum abdominal pain is called "postpartum abdominal pain". The so-called postpartum abdominal pain refers to the symptoms of lower abdominal pain after childbirth, also known as occipital pain. If the lower abdomen is slightly painful within one week after childbirth and disappears naturally after one week, it is a physiological phenomenon of uterine contraction and resetting, not a disease, and there is no need to worry.

Second, the main reasons are:

1. Abdominal pain caused by eating too much, often with irregular diet and unclean history, pain mainly in the abdomen, often accompanied by abnormal bowel movements;

2. Abdominal pain caused by bacterial infection, often accompanied by symptoms of systemic aversion to cold and fever, foul-smelling lochia, persistent abdominal pain and refusal to press, etc.

3. Postpartum lochia, blood stasis, lower abdominal pain, and refusal to massage.
