How can I manage postpartum constipation after a C-section?

Post-surgery constipation is common and can be managed through dietary changes and medical support if needed. Increase your fiber intake significantly by eating plenty of fruits (like prunes and papaya) and vegetables. Staying hydrated with jeera water or plenty of fluids is also essential. If non-medical methods aren't enough, consult your OB-GYN regarding safe, mild laxatives like fiber supplements or syrups; do not rely on over-the-counter options without professional guidance.
