How long can I wear a corset after cesarean section?
Caesarean section is different from natural delivery. Because caesarean section has a great influence on abdominal organs, women need to use special abdominal belt for caesarean section immediately after operation, which can promote wound healing and prevent organ sagging. In addition, because the new mother needs to wear it all day until the wound basically recovers 7 days after operation, it is necessary to choose a special abdominal belt for caesarean section, which is more breathable and tight, can protect the wound, and can freely adjust the tightness according to the caesarean section wound.
Half a year after caesarean section, the mother's pelvis can still undergo physiological contraction, and attention should be paid to the use of abdominal belt during this period. Caesarean mothers can choose to use the abdominal band for one hour every day after meals, and take it off before going to bed, and it should not exceed 8 hours every day, while avoiding too tight binding.
Caesarean mothers should also pay attention to the time of taking the abdominal belt every day. Under normal circumstances, the abdominal belt should be worn 30 minutes after meals every day, after urinating, and removed before going to bed. It is worth noting that caesarean section mothers should avoid using abdominal belt for a long time, because long-term use of abdominal belt may cause poor blood circulation, which may easily lead to postpartum diseases such as varicose veins of lower limbs, lumbar muscle strain and hemorrhoids after caesarean section. At the same time, the use of abdominal belt should also vary from person to person. If the parturient recovers well after caesarean section, she can not rely on the abdominal belt, especially after the abdominal stitches are removed, and it is not appropriate to use the abdominal belt for a long time.
Matters needing attention after caesarean section
Ma Bao after caesarean section should pay attention to the following points: 1. Nursing the wound. Try not to make big moves after delivery. When coughing or laughing, you can hold the wound with your hand or put a pillow above your abdomen to help relieve the pain. Take good care of the wound to prevent infection. If there are signs of redness, swelling or even fever, you should see a doctor immediately. 2. Observe the lochia carefully. The amount of vaginal discharge of postpartum women has greatly increased, but with the gradual recovery of the body, the amount of lochia will decrease, and the color of lochia will gradually change from bright red to pink, and finally become yellow and white. Careful investigation of lochia is a necessary course for women who have caesarean section. If you find lochia abnormal, you should see a doctor immediately. 3. It is best not to eat food within 6 hours after caesarean section, because drugs with anesthetic effect on nerves will be used during the operation, and the complete recovery of gastrointestinal function needs a process. It may cause flatulence in the gastrointestinal tract after eating.
