Objective:
To observe the clinical effect of low-intensity ultrasound in promoting uterine involution following cesarean section.
Methods:
A total of 122 women undergoing cesarean section were randomly selected and divided into low-intensity ultrasound treatment group (67 cases) and control group (55 cases). The women in the treatment group received daily low-intensity ultrasound treatment for 30 min 24 h after the delivery for 3 consecutive days, and the control group had no particular treatments. The descent of the uterine fundus and cessation of lochia was observed in the two groups.
Results:
The treatment group showed obviously greater descent of the uterine fundus with a higher rate of cessation of vaginal bleeding than the control group at 30 days postpartum. The ratio of incomplete uterine involution was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group.
Conclusion:
Low-intensity ultrasound is effective in promoting uterine contraction and uterine involution following cesarean section.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
