There are some postpartum abdomen belts on the market, which claim to be able to lose weight, slim waist and prevent pelvic organ prolapse. In fact, the abdominal belt does not have these functions.
Our organs are fixed by muscles. As long as all muscles function normally, no matter whether you have a caesarean section or a natural delivery, all the internal organs in our body will return to their original positions after the baby is born.
The "corset belt" tied to the body surface is "powerless" to the position change of the internal organs hidden in the body.
According to obstetricians and gynecologists, postpartum restraint belts are not slimming products at all. It relieves the pain of the parturient by fixing the wound. Moreover, the binding belt is not suitable for every parturient, only some people in need are suitable. Moreover, when purchasing the binding tape, it is not the kind we understand in the conventional sense, but the special binding tape designated by the hospital, so as to achieve the ideal effect. Then, pregnant women who are suitable for using binding belts include the following three types:
First of all, the maternal abdomen has obvious sagging. As we know, although the pregnant woman's abdomen will become bigger after delivery, it can be restored to its original appearance after a period of self-repair. One type suitable for using the binding belt is the parturient, who can obviously feel her internal organs loose and walk unsteadily when walking.
However, even if a binding tape is used, a special medical binding tape is needed. It is also very important that the longer the restraint belt is worn, the better. It is generally recommended to take it off when sleeping at night, which will not inhibit the normal breathing of the parturient and is good for the maternal health.
The second is the separation of pubic symphysis caused by natural delivery. In this case, the restraint belt can be used under the correct guidance, but now many doctors will suggest physical correction through pelvic correction. Therefore, once the parturient has a serious separation phenomenon, we must not blindly use the binding belt. It is best to use a special binding belt at the doctor's suggestion to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Third, the wound cracked after caesarean section. In this case, it is necessary to use a binding tape to fix the wound healing. Once you use the binding tape, you won't take it for granted that you don't need to wear it when you are well. As for how long you need to wear it, it depends on the healing degree of your incision, and you can't easily follow your feelings.
Abdominal band is generally not used in natural delivery, because abdominal band will have a certain impact on abdominal blood circulation, which is not conducive to postpartum recovery. If the abdomen is tightened, it will inevitably increase the tension of the pelvic floor, make the loose pelvic floor muscles worse, and increase the chances of urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse.
For example, if the lid of an inverted mineral water bottle is unscrewed a little, the water will leak downwards. If you squeeze the bottle in the middle, the water will leak faster.
