What to do if you don't fart after giving birth

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. How can I deal with not passing gas after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after a cesarean section, you can drink some radish soup to help with digestion. On the second day, it's beneficial to get up and move around to help expel gas quickly. Gentle massage can also help relax the intestines, massaging in a clockwise direction.
I. Pay attention to personal and environmental hygiene
1. Wash your hair frequently and trim your nails often
During winter, due to the slowing of metabolism, cleaning routines like bathing may not be as frequent as in summer, especially if new mothers tend to be a bit more laid-back. It's easy to overlook personal hygiene, but dirty hair can damage scalp follicles, leading to severe hair loss in new mothers. Additionally, since caring for a baby, dirt in hair and nails can potentially infect the child and affect their health. Untrimmed nails can easily scratch the baby's delicate skin. For the health and safety of both you and your baby, it's recommended to wash your hair regularly and trim your nails often.
Notes: When washing your hair, use warm water and make sure to dry it thoroughly afterward to avoid catching a cold.
2. Bathe frequently and change clothes often
