In addition, the abdominal band after cesarean section can promote uterine contraction, reduce postpartum hemorrhage, reduce incision bleeding and promote incision healing. Abdominal band can also prevent visceral prolapse in abdominal cavity. However, the abdominal belt should be properly fastened, too tight will affect breathing, too loose will affect the effect.
After caesarean section, the general doctor will advise the parturient to use the abdomen band on the first day after delivery to help the spittoon in the body cough up and speed up postpartum recovery. However, it is not advisable for some women after caesarean section to use corsets immediately after the operation in order to restore their normal figure as soon as possible. Because the abdomen will leave a wound after caesarean section, you can't use the abdominal belt immediately to avoid wound infection.
