Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section and it has been 33 days now. I have been experiencing constipation after eating a big pot of food. What can I eat to aid absorption and promote intestinal digestion?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, after a cesarean section, pay attention to rest, drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Before going to bed every night, you can drink some honey water and gently massage the lower abdomen in a clockwise direction for 15 to 20 minutes to promote bowel movements. When necessary, some medication can be used to alleviate the symptoms. It is not scary to have a cesarean section, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
