Eating without passing gas after cesarean section may lead to abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, may even lead to intestinal obstruction, so it is not recommended to eat without passing gas, but you can eat liquid food.
Gastrointestinal peristalsis is slow after cesarean section, and the functions of gas evacuation and defecation are affected. Therefore, after the patient is completely awake after the operation, it is recommended to eat mainly liquid food, such as thin millet porridge, rice soup, etc., and it is necessary to eat small amounts of food several times.
It is not recommended to eat as early as possible in the absence of defecation, otherwise it may cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, may even lead to intestinal obstruction. Therefore, it is recommended that patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to get out of bed as soon as possible to promote the normalization of gastrointestinal function.
If abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other discomforts occur after cesarean section, it is recommended to have targeted treatment and therapy under the guidance of professional doctors.
