Patient's question:
I gave birth via cesarean section on September 29th, this is my second C-section. At 49 days, an ultrasound revealed fluid in the uterine cavity, roughness at the posterior wall of the cavity, and uneven echoes at the anterior wall incision.Doctor's answer:
Postpartum uterine cramping after cesarean section usually occurs 1-2 days after delivery and naturally disappears after 2-3 days. It is generally more common in women who have given birth before, and those with one cesarean section experience less pain than those with two. The more cesarean sections a woman has, the longer the postpartum uterine cramping will last. Additionally, reflexive prolactin secretion during breastfeeding can also intensify the pain of uterine contractions. The main cause of postpartum uterine cramping is uterine contractions, as the uterus must contract to gradually return to its normal size after delivery.
