Pregnant women nowadays. There are only two methods of delivery: vaginal delivery and cesarean section, but not all pregnant women can choose vaginal delivery due to physical reasons. Many people choose cesarean section. But many pregnant women experience uterine contractions after a cesarean section, which are often unbearable. So what should we do about uterine contractions after a cesarean section?
Firstly, if there is postpartum uterine contraction pain, a hot water bag can be applied to the lower abdomen of the mother to relieve the pain. Each hot compress should last for about half an hour, but it is important to note that the temperature of the hot water should not be too high, otherwise it may cause burns.
Secondly, choose a suitable sleeping position. If it is a cesarean section, try to sleep on your side and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. This can also reduce abdominal pain. Moreover, when the mother is sitting, a cushion can be placed under her buttocks to effectively alleviate uterine contractions.
Thirdly, massage the lower abdomen. If a pregnant woman experiences uterine contractions after a cesarean section, she can use her palm to give a circular massage to the abdomen, which is beneficial for promoting the discharge of residual substances from the uterine cavity. And massage can also help the muscles of the uterus to temporarily relax and relieve pain.
