Can you drink rice wine after caesarean section?

Cesarean section is currently widely used in clinical practice. Doctors often advise mothers to pay attention to postoperative health care issues. Because cesarean section causes harm to mothers, there are many postoperative taboos. So, can pregnant women after cesarean section drink rice wine? Let’s take a look below.

1. Yellow wine, also known as rice wine, is the essence of water and grain. It is hot in nature and has a strong aroma. Drinking it in small amounts after childbirth can invigorate blood circulation, ward off evil spirits and expel filth, and is beneficial to the expulsion of lochia and the contraction of the uterus. It can also relax muscles and tendons for postpartum cold. However, drinking yellow wine should be timely and appropriate.

Excessive consumption of rice wine can cause internal heat in the mother, which can cause internal heat in the body and sores in the mouth and tongue. Also, due to the mother's internal heat, it can affect the baby through breast milk and also cause internal heat in the baby.

2. The best time to drink it is within 1 week after delivery. Because it has the effect of activating blood circulation, drinking it for too long may cause excessive lochia discharge or prolonged duration, which is not conducive to the recovery of physical health.

3. Within 6 hours after a caesarean section, the new mother should not eat or drink.

4. Six hours after the cesarean section, you can drink boiled water and semi-liquid food before passing gas. Semi-liquid food includes porridge, fish soup, pig's trotter soup and other soups.

5. After the gas is discharged, the new mother who had a caesarean section can eat something. In order to promote milk secretion and reduce postpartum constipation, the mother should pay attention to drinking more soup, juice, and eating more vegetables and fruits, which will help postpartum maintenance and recovery, etc.

New mothers who have undergone caesarean section are especially reminded that there are many things they need to pay attention to in their diet during the period before passing gas. Boiled eggs, fried vegetables, meat, rice, etc. are not suitable for consumption. In addition, sweets including chocolate, brown sugar water, sweet juice and milk should also be avoided to avoid bloating.
