Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Do postpartum women need to wear a belly band?Doctor's answer:
If it's a Cesarean section, abdominal binding is generally used for the first seven days after surgery, which is necessary to promote wound healing. However, it is not advisable to use abdominal binding for a long time after the stitches are removed. For a vaginal birth, abdominal binding can be started from the third day. But the abdominal binder should not be worn all day long. It should be loosened when resting in bed or sitting, and then tied back up when getting up to move around.According to your description, it's important to rest, keep warm, maintain personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity, eat easily digestible and absorbable foods, stay in a good mood, rest well, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure proper food combinations.
