Second child Cesarean section, vertical incision. Past treatment and outcomes: The first child did not take any measures to tighten the abdomen. How long after delivery can abdominal binders be used? How to confirm the tightness of abdominal binders? How can one wash face and hair after delivery?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum abdominal binders can be used immediately after delivery. The tightness should be adjusted so that the abdomen feels slightly tense but without any discomfort. After giving birth, you can wash your face and hair, but be mindful to use warm water and avoid excessive force. Additionally, do not expose yourself to cold drafts. Cesarean section patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while undergoing symptomatic therapy. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
