Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section twenty-one days ago. I am not fat, but my stomach is very big and not very attractive. Using a belly band hasn't helped much and it's also uncomfortable. What can I do to make the fat on my stomach smaller? What kind of medication can I use to fade stretch marks?Doctor's answer:
It takes some time for the small abdomen to fully recover after childbirth. You've just given birth and it's not even a month yet, so having a large abdomen is normal. Please don't worry. Abdominal belts are not recommended after childbirth, especially in the early stages. Using a belt may lead to uterine prolapse. So, just let nature take its course. After two months, you can gradually increase physical exercise, and the abdomen will gradually disappear. As for stretch marks, you can use olive oil massage, which can help fade them.
