Some women choose to have a baby by caesarean section, which can bring various postpartum recovery problems, such as common symptoms of abdominal numbness after caesarean section. Many postpartum women are not aware of the reasons for abdominal discomfort after cesarean section, which can also affect their physical recovery after childbirth. So, why does the stomach feel numb after a cesarean section?
The phenomenon of numbness is a common occurrence in babies born by caesarean section, and there are several reasons for this:
1. Neurological damage: During cesarean section, the surgical incision can damage the surrounding nerve tissue. Once the nerve tissue is damaged, postpartum abdominal numbness may occur. As long as there is no redness, swelling or bleeding in the stomach, there is no need to worry excessively. If there is redness, swelling or bleeding, extra attention should be paid, which may be caused by surgical infection or bacterial infection during suture removal. It is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
2. The transition period of anesthesia: The anesthesia injected into the mother's body also requires a recovery period, because the anesthesia itself can also damage the nerves near the incision, and this recovery period also requires a long process. It is normal for abdominal anesthesia to occur.
3. Insufficient nutrition: After a cesarean section, it is necessary to supplement a lot of nutrients for wound recovery. During this period, it is necessary to supplement some foods that are beneficial for wound recovery, such as pork rib soup, lean meat soup, etc. Eating more eggs can supplement the protein that the body needs, and fresh fruits and vegetables are also beneficial for wound recovery.
