Swelling of the legs after cesarean, why the legs swell

Even in the maternity ward, you can put your ankles on the headboard to ensure the outflow of blood from the feet. The simplest thing a woman can do after stitches have been removed is to raise and hold her legs upright. Additionally, you need to perform rotational movements with your feet, tighten your fingers. Moving around the room, you can stand on tiptoe and walk like that for several minutes.

If your legs swell after a cesarean, you can buy special compression tights or stockings. Such underwear tones the blood vessels, and the edema disappears. But it is not worth prescribing decongestants on your own – this is a serious risk, including for the baby (if the mother is breastfeeding). Diuretics, anticoagulants, venotonics should be prescribed only by a doctor. After assessing the health of the young mother, he may also recommend physical therapy.

However, to relieve the condition, a woman can use safe home remedies:

  • make contrasting foot baths (with plain water, salt or soda solution);
  • gently rub your feet and do self-massage;
  • prepare infusions of flaxseed or mint.

The diet can include grapes, dried apricots, cranberries, lemon, grapefruit, viburnum, sea buckthorn, cranberries, tomatoes. They have the ability to thin the blood. You need to drink a lot of water, if you wish, indulge yourself with herbal teas. With edema, it is better to refuse coffee, black tea, soda.

It is important that the mother’s nutrition instantly affects the well-being of the baby. If his body reacts badly to some product, he will have to be abandoned.

Swelling of the legs after a cesarean can be a sign of a serious illness. Don’t panic. But if traditional methods of removing puffiness did not help, you need to visit a doctor as soon as possible.
