How long can I wear a corset after caesarean section?
Experts believe that during pregnancy, the expectant mother's uterus will gradually become larger and the abdominal wall tissue will become slack, and there are many benefits for expectant mothers to use corsets after caesarean section. First, it can relieve local pain symptoms to some extent. Secondly, it is best for expectant mothers to get out of bed in time to facilitate defecation and uterine congestion. When you get out of bed, sit down and rest, you can fix the wound with a bandage to prevent the wound from being pulled and the internal organs from sagging. Therefore, expectant mothers can use corsets on the first day after caesarean section. There is no prerequisite for the general use of corset, and expectant mothers can use it normally as long as they are not allergic to the material of corset.
Experts also suggest that expectant mothers must use corsets within 7 days after caesarean section, because this time is the best time to restore their bodies. If they don't use corsets for more than 7 days after caesarean section, it is easy to have adverse effects, because the internal organs suddenly lose uterine support after delivery and are prone to sagging. Especially the enlarged uterus and local loose ligaments, the recovery speed will not only slow down, but also there will be different degrees of uterine prolapse. However, when using the binding tape, we should also pay attention to the appropriate tightness, untie it in time every hour or two, and use it for no more than 8 hours every day to prevent local blood circulation from being bad. Secondly, change it in time after sweating to prevent wound infection.

Whether breast-feeding or not, the physiological cycle of the first few postpartum periods is usually not very regular. The interval and amount of menstruation may be different from that before pregnancy, but it will tend to be stable after several times. If the postpartum physiological cycle is very disordered for a long time, you must consult a gynecologist so as not to ignore other physiological problems. The amount of menstruation is small, because some new mothers have normal menstrual cycles after delivery, but the amount of menstruation is very small, or even a little bit. This is a symptom of oligomenorrhea. The main reason is blood deficiency or traumatic bleeding. For example, postpartum hemorrhage can cause blood deficiency and lead to oligomenorrhea.
