First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether chewing sugar-free gum, drinking fennel tea, or drinking ginger tea could help women pass gas and feel more comfortable after a cesarean section. 128 women were randomly assigned to one of three groups and received the intervention at 6, 8, and 10 hours after surgery. Researchers measured bowel sounds, gas passage, and comfort levels. The goal is to find simple, natural ways to improve recovery after C-sections.
