Patient's question:
I've had a C-section for two days and can now get out of bed. I want to ask if after getting up from bed after a C-section, the catheter can be removed and I can go to the bathroom by myself?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, after a cesarean section, the catheter can usually be removed after 1.5 days or 2 days, and you can try to urinate on your own. After the catheter is removed, you can get out of bed and start moving around. It's better to remove the catheter before getting out of bed, otherwise walking will be awkward. Of course, the earlier you get out of bed, the better. The earliest you can get out of bed is after a whole day, which helps prevent intestinal adhesion. Choose based on your physical condition. After a cesarean section, you can remove the catheter anytime you feel you can urinate on your own after a whole day. It's important to rest well after a cesarean section. Cesarean section causes significant harm to patients. If you notice any symptoms, seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light foods. We hope that cesarean section patients can receive professional treatment.
