Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How long should I wear a cesarean section binder?Doctor's answer:
This is not entirely certain, mainly depending on your recovery condition. Under normal circumstances, the female pelvic reproductive organs are maintained in their proper position by various ligaments and pelvic support tissues. During pregnancy, as the fetus grows and develops, the mother's various systems undergo a series of adaptive changes, with the reproductive system experiencing the most significant changes, especially the uterus, which increases in volume and weight to about 18 times and 20 times, respectively, compared to pre-pregnancy levels. The ligaments that fix the uterus also soften and elongate accordingly.
