What are some ways to help fart after a cesarean section?

The time when the baby is born is one of the happiest moments in the mother's life, but some mothers have to undergo cesarean section for various reasons. For mothers who undergo cesarean section, doctors always tell them to fart as soon as possible after the operation. The reason is to exhaust gas, because during the cesarean section, the intestines are irritated and intestinal peristalsis is weakened. So we need to restore intestinal ventilation to normal in order to eat normally, so what is the method?

1. Exercise

After delivery, you should turn over more often, get out of bed and exercise more often, pass gas as soon as possible, and eat as soon as possible. Rub your belly more often, but don't use too much force or touch the wound. Massage it gently, get out of bed and walk around more often, and go to the toilet at regular times to restore intestinal motility.

2. Food adjustment

Generally speaking, the diet after cesarean section is semi-liquid, that is, try to eat thin foods. When in hospital, intravenous glucose supplementation is basically used to supplement nutrition because the gastrointestinal tract is not yet unobstructed and hard food cannot be eaten. You can eat things like rice soup, carrot soup, etc., which help to expel gas. Do not eat within 6 hours after cesarean section. Consider it after 6 hours. Do not eat other high-fat, high-protein foods.

3. Massage

After surgery, some people's gastrointestinal function recovers well and they pass gas quickly, while some people, if they have low resistance and poor physical fitness, will suffer from abdominal distension and lack of gas. You can use your hands to massage your belly clockwise, and the movement should be gentle, so as not to hurt the wound on the belly (massage method: press the stomach reflex area of ​​both feet with your thumbs for 5 minutes; use the thenar of your hands to push and rub the small intestine reflex area of ​​both feet for 3-5 minutes; use your fingers to push the ascending colon reflex area of ​​the right foot from bottom to top for 3-5 minutes; use the thumb to push the transverse colon reflex area of ​​the right foot from outside to inside for 3-5 minutes; use the thumb to push the transverse colon reflex area of ​​the left foot from outside to inside for 3-5 minutes; use the thumb to push the descending colon reflex area of ​​the left foot from top to bottom for 3-5 minutes; use the index finger single hook method to press the rectum and anus reflex area from outside to inside for 3-5 minutes; perform the above operations once a day for 3-5 consecutive days). If it doesn't work, using an enema in the anus can also help restore gastric motility.

4. Emotions

Postpartum mothers are most likely to feel irritable and depressed. Family members should try their best to keep the mother in a good mood. If her body allows, she can go out for some fresh air, but pay attention to keeping warm. The mood of the mother is also a major factor affecting her body. So it is also important to stay optimistic and happy.

Finally, I wish all the great expectant mothers good health and happiness.
