Patient's question:
It's winter now, and I've had a C-section for half a month. The incision still hurts a bit. Can I take a bath?Doctor's answer:
It depends on your specific and complete recovery situation! Generally, it takes about fifteen days before you can take a warm bath! It's best not to touch the wound. I want to tell you many post-cesarean surgery precautions. Early bed rest and exercise are important to prevent intestinal adhesion, assist uterine contraction, and promote wound healing. During surgery, the abdominal cavity is rapidly opened, allowing a small amount of air to enter the abdominal cavity. These gases are expelled through the intestines, but after surgery, there is often less movement, which weakens intestinal peristalsis and leads to gas and adhesion. It is recommended that patients start exercising after the anesthesia wears off and pay attention to their diet. Proper nutrition is also an important aspect of postpartum recovery.
