How many days after a normal birth can I use a belly belt

During pregnancy, a woman's uterus enlarges and her abdomen becomes more and more relaxed. In addition, the force exerted during childbirth causes the belly to swell and the abdominal muscles to loosen, greatly affecting the beauty of the body. Therefore, many mothers choose to use a belt after giving birth, but how long after giving birth should the belt be used?

Generally speaking, it is best to use a restraint belt 3 days after giving birth. Using a restraint belt within a week after a normal birth can help the body recover.

However, the belt cannot be worn all the time. Wearing it all day long will affect blood circulation and is not conducive to postpartum recovery. It should be worn for one or two hours and then removed for a while to relax the waist and abdomen. If you need to carry out any activities after a normal delivery, you can still wear the belt after 7 days.

There are many types of restraints, including elastic cord, underwear, and belt types, but their basic principles are the same. They are made of elastic rubber bands and compress the fat on the waist into a small area to maintain the body's curves. The belt should be worn 30 minutes after each meal and after urination, and should be used before going to bed.

In addition, mothers who choose natural childbirth should strengthen their physical fitness while wearing a belt, and often do knee bends, push-ups and some prenatal exercises. They don't need to wear the belt all the time.

Everyone should also remember that we are talking about mothers who choose natural childbirth. If you have a caesarean section, it is not suitable to wear a bandage for a long time after the stitches are removed from the abdomen.

Although the belt is good for the body shape recovery and health of new mothers, the long-term use of the belt is not good. It will cause some harm and even cause gynecological diseases!

If the strap is used for a long time, it is easy to cause poor blood circulation, leading to varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain and other symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that new mothers take out the strap at regular intervals to rest during the wearing period to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

In addition, if the belt is too tight, it will cause increased abdominal pressure, reduce the bearing capacity of the reproductive organs, and cause symptoms such as uterine prolapse, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus, protrusion of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina, etc. It has a great impact on the human body and may even cause gynecological diseases such as pelvic varicose vein, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. New mothers must pay attention.
