Patient's question:
When I gave birth, I decided on a C-section. My mother said that a belly band should be used after giving birth. Do I need a belly band for a C-section?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum, you can use abdominal binders (specifically designed for postpartum use), which can help the pelvic floor fully recover and promote the contraction of abdominal muscles. Choose breathable cotton material, as they are generally used during exercise. Do not wear them for too long, and avoid tying them too tightly to prevent affecting local blood supply. Make sure to loosen them during rest and sleep. Timely breastfeeding postpartum can also aid in uterine contraction and help the uterus fully recover.
