Patient's question:
After cesarean surgery for ten days, I have had 4-5 bowel movements, which are sticky. I have been constipated before. Can I take laxatives? I am breastfeeding. If I take them, I will have a little diarrhea. If I don't, I won't have a bowel movement. Is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
You have a history of constipation. After a cesarean section, you have had bowel movements four or five times in the past ten days, and you are breastfeeding. It is best not to use medication.Recommendations:
- In the first ten days after a cesarean section, you can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach and pig blood, which are good for bowel movement.
- Perform clockwise abdominal massage to establish a regular bowel movement habit.
- Drink plenty of water and engage in appropriate physical activity.
- Use medication moderately if necessary.
There are many treatment methods for cesarean sections, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach must be tailored accordingly. Therefore, it is essential for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis so that they can be treated effectively.
