Can patients who have undergone a cesarean section wear tight clothing?

Patient's question:

Can cesarean section patients wear skin-panties and tight clothing? Are there any benefits or drawbacks?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! I suggest you not to wear tight underwear and pants. Although wearing leather pants and underwear is beneficial for uterine tightening. However, wearing tight underwear and pants for a long time can lead to poor blood circulation. Additionally, abdominal binders are not recommended. Generally, abdominal binders are used to tightly wrap the abdomen for the first seven days after surgery, which is necessary for promoting wound healing. However, it is not advisable to use abdominal binders for a long time after the abdominal stitches are removed. Cesarean section is a condition that is not easily relieved.
