Easy Ways to Determine Body Readiness for Exercise After a Caesarean Operation

"Dream - After giving birth, some mothers complain about the drastic weight gain. The best way to return to a normal weight is certainly by maintaining a healthy diet and exercise."

"For mothers who have undergone a caesarean section, they may feel a little afraid to engage in physical activities. This is because the stitches from the incision often feel painful or sore when the body is engaged in intense activities."

Then when is the most appropriate and safe time to exercise again after a cesarean section surgery? It should be noted that a cesarean section is a major surgery. In addition, the incision requires time to heal. If you want to exercise again, wait until the wound is completely healed. The required time is around two to three months after a cesarean section surgery, depending on the body condition.

"\u201cC-section is a abdominal surgery, so you must wait at least six weeks,\u201d said Nazneen Vasi, a physical therapy expert and owner of Body Harmony Physical Therapy in New York City."

"After six weeks, it does not mean that you can immediately engage in heavy exercise. It is highly recommended to consult with a doctor before exercising after surgery. 'It is very important to visit an obstetrician and obtain approval before starting physical therapy or exercise as complications can occur, including slow healing at the incision site or infection,' said Vasi."

Do the Straight Leg Raise Test.

After six weeks, if the surgical wound has healed and the mother's body gradually improves, she is advised to assess her strength with the Straight Leg Raise Test. To do this, lie down with both legs straight. Lift one leg gradually, making sure the back remains flat on the floor. If you feel pain when lifting the leg, especially in the incision area, it is still too early to start exercising. You can repeat this test every week until you no longer feel any pain. After that, you can start light exercises.

"Starting from Light Exercise"

The translated text in English while preserving the HTML tags is: "Mothers who have just given birth and without complications can engage in light exercises. You can start with walking, yoga, running, or swimming. Make sure before doing it that the surgical incision does not feel painful."

"Start your exercise with something light and simple. If you want to walk, wear comfortable shoes and don't go too far. Always bring a drink so that you don't get dehydrated. Don't push yourself if you're already tired."

"Always start with light intensity and simple exercises no matter what type of sport you are doing. Remember, if there is any pain or discomfort in the surgical scar, take a rest immediately. Report by Aykaputri Amalia / Source: The Bump"
