How to deal with constipation sixteen days after a cesarean section

Patient's question:

Doctor, my daughter has been postpartum for days after a cesarean section and has been experiencing constipation again, with broken skin. She used to have constipation often before, but it's worse now. What should I do? How to deal with constipation on the sixteenth day after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of constipation are related to your dietary structure, as well as a lack of exercise, which reduces intestinal motility. It is recommended to eat more rough fiber foods, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Mix honey with sesame oil water and drink it. This can help lubricate the intestines. Lie flat on your back and massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction.
There are several treatment methods for cesarean section, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach will differ. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
