Why is there gas discharge from the vagina after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Why is it that gas is discharged from the vagina after a C-section?

Doctor's answer:

After a cesarean section, the uterus takes longer to recover. Since the vagina is connected to the outside world, air can enter the uterus through the vagina. Therefore, after sitting for a long time, you may feel that way. Lying flat, lack of movement, reluctance to urinate or defecate, sitz baths or tub baths, consuming large amounts of fish and meat, early sexual activity, and exposure to wind or cold—these seven actions are particularly emphasized by experts. New mothers should also pay attention to avoiding these actions in daily life.
