What Causes Sever Stomach Pain After A C- Section Delivery?
Question: my niece 31 years had C-section 2 days ago with a baby of 9.4 pounds in the Philippines. Now she complaints of stomach pain of 6-7 scale of 1-10 (10 is the worst) no bowel movement since, right now she drinks prune juice and lactulose. Is she high risk for blood clot? what are the signs to watch for blood clots? after c-section she is at the hospital
Brief Answer:
chances of clot is low
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The pain will reduce slowly since the surgery involves opening her abdomen and peritoneum.
The pain will reduce by 1to 2 point on 10 scale on daily basis.
The chance of clot ( thrombus) formation is less as already its 2 days post operation. But chances exist though low.
Watch for sudden and extreme pain in legs especially calf region as a sign of clot formation.
To avoid clot let her fold and release her legs frequently while lying down.
She can get up and start walking with your help so that activity exists. Walking activity reduces clot formation chances significantly.
