Can an incision infection after a cesarean section be treated with an abdominal binder?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I discharged from the hospital. I wore tight pants that were tight on my wound, and one place got inflamed. Can I still focus on using an abdominal binder?

Doctor's answer:

According to the described situation, the patient's pants, due to being too tight, aggravated the inflammation of a wound. It is recommended to wear looser clothing in daily life to avoid the interference of tight clothing with wound healing. Pay attention to the cleanliness and sterilization of the wound, drink more plain water, rest well, and avoid overexertion and overtime work. Do not use an abdominal binder. In addition to active treatment, patients who have undergone cesarean section also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the illness.
