The gastrointestinal tract of the mother needs to go through a period of recovery after the cesarean section, and usually the stool can be passed about 2-3 days after the cesarean section. Some women are slow to recover and may not pass stool until 6 days after cesarean section, so it is normal to pass stool within 6 days after the operation. After cesarean section, it is usually necessary to fast before delivery, so the gastrointestinal contents are less, and intraoperative anesthesia is used, so the gastrointestinal motility cannot be fully recovered in a short time. Therefore, as the gastrointestinal tract recovers after cesarean section, defecation can usually occur about 2-3 days after surgery. However, in some women, the recovery is slower and it may take about 6 days for defecation to occur. Therefore, if a pregnant woman does not have her own bowel movement 6 days after cesarean section, it indicates that her gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered. It is often clinically recommended to turn over 6-8 hours after delivery, walk around properly on the second day, pay attention to the routine of life and massage the abdomen, and eat high-fiber food after exhaustion to help the intestines recover peristalsis and prevent constipation.
