2. Taking medication

15ml of oral solution contains 10g of lactulose. Lactulose is almost not absorbed after oral administration and can reach the colon unchanged, and then be metabolized by intestinal flora. At the same time, it increases the volume of the colon through osmosis, stimulates intestinal peristalsis, maintains smooth bowel movements, relieves constipation, and restores the physiological rhythm of the colon. Take 15 ml 6 hours after surgery.

3. Abdominal massage

The husband or other family members of the mother can gently massage her abdomen while she is resting in bed. The method is to massage from the upper abdomen downwards, once every 2 to 3 hours, each time for 10 to 20 minutes. This not only promotes intestinal peristalsis, but also helps the uterus and vagina to discharge residual blood. 4. Hot compress on the soles of feet
