Acupuncture at points LI4 and SP6 has been reported to stimulate uterine contractions and reduce pain. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To look into how electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation works at particular places LI4, SP6, and the combination of LI4 &amp;amp; SP6 with frequencies of 30, 50, and 100 Hz on the increase in oxytocin levels postpartum cesarean section. &lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;The number of respondents was 144 postpartum cesarean section patients who met the inclusion criteria, divided using the randomized controlled trial (RCT) method into 8 intervention and control groups. Oxytocin levels were analyzed through blood samples using the ELISA method, comparing results before and after the intervention as well as with the control group. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; The electroacupuncture intervention group's analysis at points LI4 and SP6 showed a substantial (P&amp;lt;0.05) rise in oxytocin levels when compared to the control group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The findings of this research suggest that electroacupuncture intervention following a cesarean section can induce a rise in the levels of the hormone oxytocin.&lt;/p&gt;
