What should I do if there is air in my intestines after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

How long does it usually take for air in the intestines to be expelled after a cesarean section? I've been two months postpartum, and my stomach still makes noises why.

Doctor's answer:

After a cesarean section, gas is usually expelled within 24-48 hours. The time will never be too long. It is normal for the abdomen to make noises 2 months after delivery, which are normal bowel sounds. Normally, our abdomen makes noises, which are bowel sounds. As long as the bowel sounds are within the normal range, there is no problem.
In addition, during the treatment for a cesarean section, in addition to immediate medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from the cesarean section.
