What causes pain and numbness in the lower abdomen after cesarean section?

If the lower abdomen is always painful and numb after a caesarean section, then women should be alert, because sometimes it is caused by uterine contraction, or it may be caused by body detoxification and lochia, so you need to identify the cause first so that you can adjust it correctly.

1. Some women experience abdominal pain for a period of time after a caesarean section. Why is this? Most of the reasons are caused by uterine contractions, and it may also be due to body detoxification, that is, lochia. As long as you don't eat raw or cold food, there will be intermittent pain within 2 months after cesarean section, and it will be fine after 3 months.

2. Lower abdominal pain after cesarean section. Many postpartum women report that they sometimes experience abdominal pain after delivery. Lochia is one of the factors of abdominal pain after delivery: Under normal circumstances, lochia is divided into three stages. The first stage: The lochia 3-7 days after delivery is bloody lochia. The color is bright red and the amount is relatively large. The second stage: 1-2 weeks after delivery is serous lochia. It contains a small amount of blood and the color is pink. The third stage: about 2-4 weeks after delivery is white lochia, which is white or light yellow, the amount is smaller, and there is no blood. It usually lasts for about 3 weeks and stops.

3. Lower abdominal pain after cesarean section. Lochia reflects the degree of recovery of the uterus. By observing the nature, smell, amount and duration of lochia, you can understand the recovery of the uterus and whether there is infection. Under normal circumstances, lochia has a bloody smell, but it is not smelly, and the amount does not exceed the menstrual amount. If you still have postpartum abdominal pain after about half a month to 20 days, you should see a doctor for examination.

4. The lower abdominal pain after cesarean section is caused by the gradual recovery of the uterus after delivery. Gently massage the abdomen with your hands and do not eat raw or cold food. It will recover after a while. If you experience similar pain again after a month, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.
