How long is it appropriate to wear a tummy belt after delivery?
Immediately after caesarean section, use a special abdominal belt for caesarean section to fix the wound. After caesarean section, the abdominal organs were affected by invasive surgery. Immediately after the operation, use a special abdominal belt for caesarean section to fix the wound, promote wound healing and prevent visceral sagging. At this time, the nursing function of abdominal belt is greater than that of body shaping. Therefore, when choosing the abdominal belt for caesarean section, the mother should not blindly tighten the size, but should choose a special abdominal belt for caesarean section with good permeability and comfortable wearing, and can freely adjust the tightness according to the position and recovery degree of the caesarean section wound. At the same time, the pelvic correction belt can be used at the same time to help the pelvis recover to the prenatal size as soon as possible.
Long-term use of abdominal belt will lead to poor blood circulation, which will lead to varicose veins of lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain and so on. In addition, if the lying-in woman's waist is too tight, the abdominal pressure will increase, and the supporting force of the ligaments of the reproductive organs will decrease, which will lead to uterine prolapse, backward flexion of the uterus, and bulging of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina. And easily induce pelvic venous congestion, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis and other gynecological diseases.
Many parturients will choose to use the abdominal belt after delivery, especially within one week after delivery, and it is best to start using it on the third day after delivery. However, the abdominal belt can't be tied all the time. Untie when lying in bed or sitting and resting, and fasten it when getting out of bed. Because long-term use of abdominal belt will affect blood circulation, limit the activities of lumbar muscles and abdominal back, and extend the recovery time!
