What recovery from cesarean section consists of

Post-operative recovery after caesarean section includes incision healing, good uterine contraction and body shape recovery. 1. Incision healing: Pay attention to the protection of the wound, keep the wound clean, and get out of bed after 24 hours after the operation to prevent the formation of intestinal adhesion, intestinal obstruction and blood clots, which will be conducive to the discharge of the bad dew. Within two weeks after the cesarean section, use iodophor or alcohol to sterilize the wound once a day, and the wound can be touched with water after 10 days. 2. Uterine contraction: It takes about 42 days for the uterus to contract after a cesarean section. After the delivery of the placenta, the size of the uterus will gradually shrink, and the uterus will descend into the pelvic cavity on the 10th day after delivery, and return to its pre-pregnancy size in about 6 weeks after delivery. 3. Body shape recovery: After cesarean section, the wound is usually able to heal after one month, and you can do appropriate exercises to restore your body shape, such as dancing, yoga, jogging, etc., which can promote the body’s calorie consumption and help to restore your body shape.
