Can body shaping clothes really play a magical role in restoring body shape? How to tie the corset, here is an answer for everyone.
For the mother who gave birth naturally, corset is really dispensable for the healthy mother. Because the function of the human body is very powerful, the uterus has the ability to recover itself, and the speed is beyond our imagination.
Generally speaking, on the 2nd to 3rd day after delivery, the bottom of the uterus will drop to the level of navel, and it will drop to the pelvic cavity in about 2 weeks, and then the uterus will gradually become smaller and return to normal size in about 6 weeks after delivery.
At this time, the recovery effect of corset is really minimal, but it is not unreasonable to be sought after by people.
It still has two advantages:
Because after the baby comes out of the mother's stomach, the mother's abdominal wall will become very loose, so it is inevitable that there will be stomach jitter when walking. After using the abdominal belt, walking will be more convenient and comfortable.
More importantly, the use of abdominal straps can make the mother's appearance look beautiful.
However, for another kind of mothers who have indications to use corsets, corsets must be tied. For example, after the delivery of twins or polyhydramnios, the abdomen is obviously drooping and the pubic symphysis is separated. Before you tie your bra.
For mothers who have a cesarean section, if the new mother gives birth by cesarean section, the general doctor will suggest wrapping the abdomen with a belt within 7 days after the operation.
Mainly to help fix the wound, prevent postpartum cough, increase abdominal pressure during exercise, and prevent incision bleeding through local contraction and compression.
After the recovery of intestinal peristalsis, the abdominal band can also protect the incision, relieve abdominal pain and facilitate maternal activities. After the abdominal suture is removed, the abdominal belt also has a barrier effect on the wound.
In short, the abdominal band is used after caesarean section to protect the wound.
Precautions in the use of postpartum abdominal belt should not be too tight.
When tying the abdominal belt, the tightness should be moderate, not too tight, and it is advisable to extend a finger, otherwise it will have the following adverse effects:
1) Abdominal tightening will cause great pressure on the intestine, slow peristalsis after meals, loss of appetite or constipation.
2) Tightening the waist and increasing the abdominal pressure will reduce the supporting force of ligaments, increase the incidence of diseases such as uterine prolapse, uterine retroflexion and anterior or posterior wall bulging, and easily induce gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis.
3) When girding the abdomen, the muscles around the spine will be compressed, which will hinder the normal activities of muscles and the supply of blood. In the long run, it will also cause symptoms such as lumbar muscle strain.
4) The abdomen is a place where the great blood vessels of the human body are densely covered. After tightening the abdomen, the veins will be compressed and cause varicose veins or hemorrhoids in the lower limbs. At the same time, because the arteries are not smooth, the blood supply capacity of blood vessels is limited, which will lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart.
Can't be used for a long time
If the abdominal belt is used for a long time after delivery, the waist and abdomen muscles may not contract or contract too little, and the strength is not enough, thus causing muscle atrophy.
Therefore, for mothers who have caesarean section, doctors usually recommend using abdominal band continuously for the first 2 days after operation.
After operation, it should be used intermittently for 3-5 days, and the abdominal belt should be tied when going to the ground and untied when staying in bed, so as to avoid the abdominal belt affecting intestinal peristalsis and prolonging the exhaust time.
Generally wear 1 ~ 2 weeks, and you can stop using it when the wound is no longer painful.
If there are special circumstances, the use time can be delayed for up to 6 weeks.
Pay attention to the material of abdominal belt.
There are many kinds of abdominal belts on the market. Mothers should first pay attention to the material when choosing the abdominal belt. Some abdominal belts are made of chemical fiber. This kind of abdominal belt is not only uncomfortable to use, but also has an unpleasant smell, which will * * * skin and respiratory tract.
Among all the abdominal belts made of materials, the cotton gauze abdominal belt is the best. Because it is breathable and does not cause allergies to the skin, the price is also relatively cheap.
The correct way to tie the abdominal belt
Take gauze abdominal belt as an example. Mother Kangaroo teaches you how to tie the abdominal belt correctly;
First, prepare a roll of gauze and a safety pin.
Then mother lies on her back, lying flat, her knees erect, her soles flat on her feet, and her thighs above her knees are at right angles to her abdomen as far as possible.
Hips are raised, and 1-2 cushion is placed under hips. Put your hands on your abdomen, palms forward, and move your internal organs towards your heart for a few minutes. This action can help keep the internal organs in place.
Then remove the mat under the hip, start to tie the abdominal belt as tightly as possible, and then gradually relax.
Tie it from pubic bone to navel, * * * 12 times, the first 7 times overlap, and it is obliquely folded every 1.5 times, that is, turn the front side of the abdominal belt into the reverse side, and then continue to tie it (the oblique folded part is on both sides of the hip). The last five laps can be relaxed, with a spacing of 2 cm.
Finally, cover the navel and fix it with a safety pin.
If you think the gauze-type abdominal belt is troublesome, you need to remove the tie and then remove it …, or you can choose the adhesive type. There are many styles now.
