Patient's question:
I just had a C-section, and my best friend told me that I shouldn't laugh. I wanted to ask if laughing after a C-section can cause problems with the incision?Doctor's answer:
If you have just undergone a cesarean section, it is best not to laugh, as this action can increase abdominal pressure. If the abdominal pressure is too high, it may lead to the wound opening. After a cesarean section, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. You should also avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure. Regularly getting up and moving around helps with intestinal movement and promotes the complete healing of the wound. Cesarean section patients can understand and follow the principle of treating the symptoms while using dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat.
