What to do if you don’t pass gas for three days after a c-section

Three days of cesarean section without gas need to carry out appropriate activities, examination and treatment.
1. Appropriate activities: After cesarean section, due to the influence of anesthesia, the intestinal peristalsis is slowed down, and the intestinal function is not restored, which will lead to no exhaustion. Mothers can get out of bed with the help of family members to increase peristalsis and promote gas evacuation.
2. Examination and treatment: If the woman does not pass gas, accompanied by obvious abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms, do not rule out intestinal obstruction and other conditions, need to carry out abdominal plain film examination. After examination, if there is intestinal obstruction, it is necessary to consult a general surgeon in time. If bowel obstruction and other diseases are ruled out, Keflex can be given under the guidance of the doctor to promote the excretion of gas.
After lying down for 6-8 hours after cesarean section, you can turn over and move your limbs in bed appropriately, and you can get out of bed after removing the urinary catheter, but pay attention to the amount of effort and don’t over exert yourself.
