Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of low-intensity ultrasound in promoting uterine involution followingcesarean section. Methods A total of 122 women undergoing cesarean section were randomly selected and divided intolow-intensity ultrasound treatment group (67 cases) and control group (55 cases). The women in the treatment group receiveddaily low-intensity ultrasound treatment for 30 min 24 h after the delivery for 3 consecutive days, and the control group hadno particular treatments. The descent of the uterine fundus and cessation of lochia was observed in the two groups. ResultsThe treatment group showed obviously greater descent of the uterine fundus with a higher rate of cessation of vaginalbleeding than the control group at 30 days postpartum. The ratio of incomplete uterine involution was significantly lower inthe treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion Low-intensity ultrasound is effective in promoting uterinecontraction and uterine involution following cesarean section.
