What is the correct use method of postpartum gauze abdominal belt?
First, put on a tummy belt. To wear it outside underwear, fix the inner belt first. Then fix the seat belt on the outer upper part. Then fix the belt on the lower part of the outside.
As early as the 1970s, Japanese women began to wrap their abdomen with gauze bandages after delivery to achieve the effect of abdomen contraction. Good use can achieve a certain abdominal effect, but it is more troublesome to use and the tightness is not easy to grasp. It has long been eliminated in Japan, and because of its low price, some women still use it in some small and medium-sized cities in China.
Compared with gauze bandage, it has made great progress and is more convenient to use, but there are many kinds of markets and different materials, including chemical fiber, blended, pure cotton, narrow and wide. Prices in the market range from tens to hundreds of yuan, and those with better quality and higher price are selected conditionally, and those with poor economic conditions range from tens to more than 100 yuan. Nowadays, some inferior products, those that have no competitive advantage in quality, mostly adopt low-price competition, and "one point for one price, one point for another". After delivery, mothers should be more cautious in buying low-end products, shop around and can't follow suit. When choosing this kind of abdominal belt, we must pay attention to the following aspects:
Wide type: Some manufacturers produce a wide belly belt to please consumers, especially several sets, commonly known as "Zongzi belly belt", which binds the whole abdomen up, down and is fully armed. The photos on the internet look beautiful and the price is not high. In fact, this kind of abdominal belt is very unscientific. After use, it is not only inconvenient and uncomfortable, but also squeezes blood vessels and viscera, affecting blood circulation and visceral function.
How long does it take to tie the abdominal belt after delivery?
Because the pelvic floor muscle ligament has not recovered for a period of time after delivery, it is not recommended to use the binding band prematurely. Because the binding belt will increase abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation of pelvic floor function. Generally, after the lochia is completely clean, you can start to tie the waist seal. Don't be too tight at first, and then press slowly after you get used to it. By 3 months after delivery, the abdominal muscles are relatively less relaxed, so you can change to abdominal pants. Belly pants are more breathable and more convenient to wear than maternity abdominal straps.
Abdominal band can be used within one week after delivery, mainly to ensure the stability of joints or pelvis and ligaments. Because the changes of hormones during pregnancy lead to the relaxation of ligaments in various joints, it is necessary to use abdominal straps to help the body recover as soon as possible. But it shouldn't take long to tie the abdominal belt. Generally 1 2 hours later, it should be played once. Untie when lying in bed or sitting while eating, and fasten when getting out of bed. Should not be too tight, so as not to affect blood circulation.
After caesarean section, the abdominal band is usually tied for about 4 weeks. Abdominal band after cesarean section has three advantages: one is to reduce the discomfort of patients during activities, the other is to promote abdominal muscle healing, and the third is to protect the incision and promote healing. Pay attention to the abdominal belt in clinic. One is that the abdominal belt can't be tied all the time, which will limit the activities of abdominal muscles and lumbar muscles and affect blood circulation. Generally, when lying down or resting, you can relax the abdominal belt. If you get out of bed, you can re-fasten the abdominal belt, which is conducive to postoperative recovery. In addition, we encourage lying-in women to get out of bed as soon as possible after operation, which is conducive to postpartum uterine recovery, physical recovery and lochia discharge.
