How long does it take to exercise and lose weight after a ruptured abdomen

It is generally recommended to gradually resume exercise and lose weight 6-8 weeks after a cesarean section. The specific time needs to be determined based on the wound healing condition, physical recovery status, and doctor's evaluation. Cesarean section is an abdominal surgery that requires sufficient time for the uterine incision and various layers of abdominal wall tissue to heal after surgery. Premature exercise may lead to wound rupture, visceral prolapse, or chronic pelvic pain. In the early postpartum period, low-intensity recovery training such as Kegel exercises and abdominal breathing should be the main focus. After the lochia is cleared and the wound is free of redness, swelling, and pain, gradually increase brisk walking, yoga, and aerobic exercise. Breastfeeding women should pay attention to replenishing water and nutrition in a timely manner after exercise, and avoid vigorous exercise that affects milk secretion.

A small number of mothers who recover quickly may start exercising with the doctor's permission after 4-5 weeks, but high impact movements such as abdominal rolling and jumping should be strictly avoided. If there are complications such as wound infection and poor uterine involution, the weight loss plan should be postponed until 3 months later. Within 6 months postpartum, it is the golden period for scientific weight loss. It is recommended to adjust diet and moderate exercise to lose no more than 0.5 kilograms per week. Postpartum weight loss should prioritize ensuring adequate nutrition, especially protein, iron, and calcium intake. Choose breastfeeding specific multivitamins to avoid dieting and weight loss. Wear high support sports underwear during exercise, pay attention to the condition of the wound, and stop exercising immediately if there is abnormal bleeding or pain. It is recommended to engage in 3-5 30 minute moderate to low intensity exercises per week, such as water walks, postpartum recovery exercises, etc., in conjunction with pelvic floor muscle training to help the core muscle group recover function. Regularly review ultrasound to assess uterine recovery and develop personalized weight loss plans under professional guidance.
