How to use postpartum corset?

Benefits of using a tummy belt
After delivery, due to maternal weakness, the elasticity of ligaments in the body failed to recover immediately, which is easy to produce visceral droop. The main organs are: stomach, kidney, uterus and liver. Gastroptosis is mainly manifested as a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen immediately after eating and a dull pain in the stomach; Nephropathy is mainly characterized by hematuria and proteinuria; Uterine prolapse is mainly manifested in the feeling of falling and swelling in the lower abdomen; Liver droop is mainly manifested as dull pain in the liver area. Therefore, it is suggested that postpartum mothers must wear appropriate abdomen straps to help the body support internal organs. For new mothers after caesarean section, timely use of abdominal band after delivery can also stop bleeding and promote wound healing.
In addition, the fat is flowing within six months after delivery, which is the best time to reshape the body. Reasonable use of abdominal belt has great influence on the recovery of postpartum body shape.
During pregnancy, the uterus becomes bigger, the abdominal wall is slack, and the force is too strong during childbirth, which will lead to the enlargement of the postpartum stomach and the relaxation of the abdominal muscles. Therefore, it is beneficial to use abdominal band 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 day. 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 prolong the recovery time.
The abdominal belt should be worn half an hour after meals every day, after urinating and before going to bed. At the same time, the use of abdominal belt should also vary from person to person. Women who give birth normally should strengthen exercise, often do leg lifts, sit-ups and some maternal exercises, instead of relying on abdominal belts for a long time. After caesarean section, the parturient should not use the abdominal belt for a long time. If the body is too thin or the internal organs have drooping symptoms, the lower abdominal belt should be taken after the internal organs are lifted and reset.
