Patient's question:
My sister gave birth to her baby half a month ago, and the baby was born naturally. Because she was afraid of getting a stomach, she wanted to use a belly binding band. However, it was very uncomfortable to wear the band. How many hours a day should a belly binding band be worn after a natural birth?Doctor's answer:
To maintain a good figure, using an abdominal belt can also be somewhat effective. It's important to use it according to your physical condition and not overdo it. For normal childbirth, you can start using an abdominal belt about 3 days after delivery. Initially, it may not be comfortable, so you can use it intermittently, loosening it every 2 hours. You can stop using it at night. Once you get used to it, you can extend the duration of use. Both (gauze) and one-piece abdominal belts are effective, but they should be used reasonably.
