Is it really not necessary to pay special attention to postpartum recovery after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I heard that if it's a cesarean section, it's because the bone haven't opened yet, so during the postpartum period, you don't need to pay attention to it as you would with a natural birth. Is that right?

Doctor's answer:

Recovery after cesarean section is much slower than after a normal delivery. Postpartum care is the same as after a normal delivery, with no sexual intercourse or tub baths for two months. However, there's no need to intentionally keep windows closed or stuff the room like that—normal living at home is fine. In addition to timely medical treatment, patients need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
