Patient's question:
I used a postpartum belly wrap for a week after giving birth, and my figure has clearly shrunk. The underwear I bought at the full moon was quite tight, and now it's been almost four months. Recently, I've been experiencing occasional dull pain in my abdomen, which seems to be around the uterus. I wonder if it's caused by the tight underwear? Sometimes, when feeding the baby, the pressure on my abdomen also causes pain. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to a formal hospital for examination to identify the cause and treat accordingly. Pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene. The inflammation may be severe. Additionally, be mindful of cleaning. Generally, it is recommended to clean 2-3 times a day, and it should be done from front to back. Use lukewarm salt water for cleaning. Overly frequent cleaning can increase the risk of infection.
