What’s with the bowel cramps after a c-section?

Fecal and intestinal colic after cesarean section is associated with diet, peritonitis, and gastrointestinal infections. Some women may experience abdominal and intestinal colic during bowel movements just after a cesarean section, which is mainly considered to be directly related to diet. This is because after a cesarean section, the mother’s diet is mainly high in nutrients and fats, which are digested and absorbed slowly, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, which can lead to abdominal cramps. After a cesarean section, chemical stimulation and bacterial infection can lead to inflammation and infection of the peritoneal area, which can be manifested as abdominal pain, abdominal muscle tension, and even nausea, vomiting, fever and other manifestations. If the operation is not sterilized properly or if there is infection in the gastrointestinal tract, it will induce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and cause intestinal cramps, so the patient will also experience abdominal pain.
