Is it better to use gauze or elastic for postpartum abdominal belts?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Abdominal belts can promote uterine contractions and are also very beneficial for episiotomy, helping the body's functions to gradually recover. It is not possible to rely entirely on abdominal belts; attention must be paid to diet and exercise. The most important thing to pay attention to with abdominal belts is to clean them frequently.
