How long after a C-section can you stop using an abdominal binder?

Patient's question:

How long after a cesarean section can I stop using the abdominal binder? Do I still need to apply gauze when the wound has formed a scab?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is recommended to use an abdominal binder for about half a month to a month. The wound scab does not need to be covered with gauze. Based on the situation you described, it is important to pay attention to rest, avoid excessive exercise, enhance nutrition, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to digest vitamins and promote local healing. Postpartum surgery is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
