Is recovery after cesarean section longer than after natural childbirth?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

If talking about physical recovery after childbirth, it is true that cesarean delivery is more aggressive and therefore requires more time for the woman's body to return to its normal state. However, in relation to the menstrual cycle, the type of delivery does not have much effect.
