Patient's question:
After I had a cesarean section, I had a bit of constipation and wanted to know what to eat. What foods should I eat for constipation after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, eating is strictly prohibited for six hours. Once you can eat, you must consume a lot of light and easily digestible foods, such as noodle soup, rice soup, and congee. Gradually increase your intake, starting with small amounts and gradually moving to more. Later on, you can eat more high-protein foods and drink plenty of chicken soup and bone broth. Pay attention to preventing the wound from becoming infected. Rest well and always maintain a positive mood. In addition, during the treatment for a cesarean section, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also crucial.
