Results The bowel sound recovery time, time of anal exhaust and first time of defecation were shorter in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0. 05). The incidence of abdominal distension in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at 24 h and 48 h after cesarean section respectively (P＜0. 05).
