Patient's question:
My wife just had a cesarean section surgery and it has been a day now. She is still getting IV fluids, and the urinary catheter and pain pump have not been removed yet. My wife said lying down is very painful. I don't know how long after a cesarean section it is possible to get up?Doctor's answer:
Actually, after cesarean surgery, the earlier you get up and move around, the better it is for your body. This also helps with the complete healing of the incision. However, it is necessary to wait until the urinary catheter is removed before getting up. Of course, the initial movement might be extremely painful, but it is generally still manageable. It is recommended to get up as early as possible.In addition to timely medical treatment for cesarean delivery, patients also need to pay attention to postoperative care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
