How many days do you have uterine contractions after caesarean section

After a cesarean section

, women experience contractions for a period of time. This is because the uterus needs to gradually return to its pre-pregnancy size after childbirth, and contractions cause pain.

Generally speaking, contractions are most obvious on the first day after surgery, and then gradually ease. Most women will feel significant relief within 3-5 days, but the specific duration may vary from individual to individual. If the pain lasts too long or the pain is unusually severe, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
