“…Poor blood supply affects uterine contraction, which weakens the hemostasis caused by blood vessel compression in the muscular layer during uterine contraction. 14 Second, the uterine incision diminishes the integrity of the uterus, and affects the symmetry and polarity of uterine contractions. This results in increased intrauterine bleeding .…”

Background Postpartum subinvolution of the uterus is a more common condition after cesarean section. Auricular acupressure (AA) is widely used for the treatment of postpartum diseases. However, few studies have explored the effects of AA as a treatment of uterine involution following cesarean section to date. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of AA for uterine involution after cesarean section. Methods A total of 109 women who underwent cesarean section participated in this study. They were randomly allocated to either real AA or sham AA in a 1:1 ratio by a computer program. For 3 days, the real AA and sham AA groups received treatment 3 times daily. A series of assessments at 42 days after cesarean section, namely on the uterine size, the incidence of hydrometra, the first anal exsufflation time, bleeding volume at 6 hours, bleeding volume at 6–24 hours along with other general assessments were carried out. Results A total of 89 women completed the study. The uterine size at 42 days after a cesarean section was 6.3 cm smaller in the real AA group than in the sham AA group ( P < 0.01). The incidence of hydrometra on day 42 postpartum was lower in the real AA group than in the sham AA group ( P < 0.01). The lochia duration and the first anal exsufflation time after cesarean section were shorter in the real AA group than in the sham AA group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion AA improves uterine involution after cesarean section. Trial registration ChiCTR1800015569.
