Can I use a tummy belt three days after delivery? How long can I use a tummy belt after delivery?
During pregnancy, a woman's uterus becomes larger and her abdominal wall loosens. In addition, the natural labor force is too strong, which leads to a bigger belly and looser abdominal muscles after delivery, which greatly affects the beauty of her figure. Therefore, many mothers will choose to use tummy tuck after delivery, but how long should tummy tuck be used after delivery? Generally speaking, it's best to use tummy tuck 3 days after delivery, and one week after delivery can help the body recover.
However, you can't always wear an abdomen to remove wrinkles. Wearing tummy tuck all day will affect blood circulation and is not conducive to postpartum recovery. You should put it on for an hour or two to relax your waist and abdomen. If you need to do any activities after delivery, you can still do abdominal surgery after 7 days.
Method of using abdominal belt after natural delivery
There are many kinds of abdomen belts, such as elastic belt, underwear belt and belt, but the basic principle is the same. They are made of elastic rubber bands, and they keep their figure curves by compressing abdominal fat in a small range. The abdominal belt should be worn half an hour after meals and urination every day, and taken off before going to bed.
In addition, mothers who give birth naturally should also strengthen exercise while wearing abdominal straps, and often do leg lifts, sit-ups and some maternal exercises. Don't wear an abdominal belt for a long time.
Everyone should also remember that what we are talking about here is a natural mother. If it is a caesarean section, it is not advisable to eat the abdominal belt for a long time after the abdominal stitches are removed.
Benefits of using abdominal belt after delivery.
What are the benefits of abdominal wrinkle removal? Why do new mothers use tummy bands after childbirth? I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can see the benefits. Fat is flowing within 6 months after delivery, which is the golden period to reshape your body. Reasonable use of abdominal belt has a great influence on postpartum body recovery, which can help you recover your slim figure before delivery as soon as possible.
In addition, there are health considerations. After delivery, due to maternal weakness, the elasticity of various ligaments in the body can not be recovered immediately, which is easy to produce visceral droop. If gastroptosis occurs, it will show that the upper abdomen is full immediately after eating, and the stomach will feel dull pain, while nephroptosis will cause hematuria and proteinuria, uterine ptosis will have the feeling of abdominal distension, and hepatic ptosis will cause dull pain in the liver area. These symptoms are all possible after delivery, and proper use of abdominal belt can help.
If it is a caesarean section mother, it is also beneficial to use the abdominal band to stop bleeding in time after delivery and promote wound healing.
Disadvantages of using abdominal belt after delivery
Although the abdomen band is good for the new mother's physical recovery and health, it is not good for long-term use. It will cause some harm and even induce gynecological diseases!
If the abdominal belt is used for a long time, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation, causing varicose veins of lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain and other symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that new mothers take them off every once in a while to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In addition, if the abdominal belt is too tight, it will increase the abdominal pressure, reduce the supporting force of the ligaments of reproductive organs, cause diseases such as uterine prolapse, backward bending of the uterus, bulging of the front or back wall of the vagina, and have a great impact on the body, and even induce gynecological diseases such as pelvic venous congestion, pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis. New mothers must pay attention.
