Patient's question:
After a cesarean section for half a month, now standing feels lower abdominal dropping and fullness, lower back pain. Is it uterine prolapse? Does a cesarean section cause uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in general, a cesarean section does not cause uterine prolapse. This may be due to lower back pain caused by uterine contractions. This is a normal phenomenon. You can go to the hospital for a check-up after 42 days post-cesarean to assess the complete recovery of your uterus. It is important to rest and avoid exposure to cold or overexertion. If the condition is severe, you can also consult a local Chinese medicine practitioner for herbal treatment. In addition to immediate treatment, patients undergoing a cesarean section should maintain a proper diet in daily life to replenish their body's nutrients. I hope the above answer helps you. Thank you!
