Patient's question:
I am almost due to give birth, and my due date is coming soon. I am currently worried about the excess skin on my abdomen after giving birth. I have prepared an abdominal binder and plan to wear it right after giving birth. However, my friends say that's not a good idea. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Use a restraint belt because after a cesarean section, the wound may have bleeding, and the uterus has not fully returned to its original position, requiring support from the restraint belt. Abdominal binders are too tight and can compress the stomach, causing breathing difficulties. They can be worn one month after delivery. The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
