How to Drain Amniotic Fluid After a Cesarean Section

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I expel amniotic fluid after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, in this case, during a general cesarean section, abdominal pressure can usually be used to expel the amniotic fluid. It is recommended that you focus on postpartum exercises. Generally, ovulation occurs between 24 to 36 hours. There may be individual differences with earlier or later timing, so it is best to have intercourse within the 24 to 36-hour range and continue with follow-up ultrasounds. If the follicle disappears, it means ovulation has occurred. If it hasn't disappeared, wait for another day.
