What’s wrong with gas after a c-section?

Gas emission within 48 hours after cesarean section is a normal reaction after surgery, indicating that the bowel movement function has returned to normal, for which there is no need to worry. If there is more gas after 48 hours, it may be related to the dietary factors after delivery. In order to increase the nutrition after cesarean section, some mothers will eat some foods with high protein and fat content, which will produce more gas-producing bacteria in the process of intestinal digestion and absorption, and the gas-producing bacteria will release a lot of gas, which will lead to more gas, so you need to pay attention to your diet, take in fiber-rich foods, and also need to move around appropriately. If you don’t pay attention to keep warm after cesarean section and get cold, it will also stimulate the stomach and intestines, which will cause indigestion, abdominal distension and gas discharge, you can use hot water bag to apply hot compresses to the abdomen or take tablets of gastrointestinal suppression. If you stay in bed for a long time after cesarean section and do not move around, it will also cause indigestion with bloating and farting.
