Nowadays, in order to avoid accidents during childbirth, many mothers give birth to their babies through caesarean section. During the delivery process, mothers who have undergone cesarean section may not feel much pain due to the need for anesthesia. However, they require more maintenance after the surgery. So why should they lie flat after cesarean section?
Firstly, cesarean section surgery is performed through the abdomen, which usually has a wound of about ten centimeters. Lying flat after the surgery can help relax the abdomen, which is more helpful for the recovery of the wound.
Secondly, after anesthesia, the wound in the abdomen will feel obvious pain. When lying flat, the pain of the wound will be less. If you change your posture, the wound will feel pain, and other postures may also affect the healing of the wound, because when lying flat, the healing surface of the wound is less likely to be misaligned.
In addition, after a cesarean section, it is necessary to use salt to press down on the abdomen in order to quickly remove the congestion in the uterus. If you do not lie flat, it will be inconvenient to press things on the abdomen.
Postpartum cesarean section mothers should not only pay attention to their lying posture, but also pay more attention to their diet, emotions, etc., in order to be more helpful for postoperative recovery. In addition, during the postpartum period, cesarean section mothers should also be careful to avoid infection of the wound.
