How long does it take for the internal organs to be restored after a cesarean section?

Although cesarean section effectively reduces the pain of mothers during childbirth, it can also cause a lot of harm to women's bodies. Because the enlarged uterus during pregnancy will compress other internal organs, after a caesarean section, women must pay attention to the repositioning of the internal organs in order to maintain their normal functioning. How long does it take for the internal organs to return to their original position after a caesarean section?

How long after delivery does it take for the internal organs to be restored?

During pregnancy, the uterus becomes larger and the abdominal wall becomes loose. In addition, the labor force of the mother during natural childbirth is too strong, which will lead to an enlarged abdomen and loose abdominal muscles after delivery. Therefore, it is beneficial to wear a belly band at the right time after natural childbirth.

However, do not tighten the belly band immediately after delivery, because there is still a lot of exuded blood in the abdomen, and lochia will be discharged from the vagina in a short time. The early use of a belly band will restrict blood circulation in the body and affect the discharge of lochia. It is best to start using it on the third day after delivery.

However, if the feeling of postpartum descent is already severe, it is best not to continue using the belt to avoid worsening the situation and even leading to the possibility of uterine prolapse.

1. First of all, the human body's abdomen is rich in blood vessels. Long-term use of a belly belt will affect the blood circulation in the pelvis and reduce the body's resistance. Moreover, mothers who have just given birth are weak and can easily develop pelvic inflammation.

Secondly, using a belly band for a long time during the postpartum period will cause long-term compression of the veins and cause varicose veins in the lower limbs and constipation.

2. Third, long-term use of a belly belt after childbirth can cause lumbar muscle strain, uterine prolapse, and retroverted uterus due to increased intra-abdominal pressure.

Due to the restraint of the belly band, intestinal motility will slow down, which will affect the gastrointestinal function of the mother. If it lasts for a long time, it will affect the mother's appetite, cause malnutrition, reduce milk, affect the baby's feeding, and is very detrimental to breastfeeding.

To sum up, it is not advisable for women to wear a belly band during delivery.

It is best to lose weight after 6 to 8 weeks. During the confinement period, you can do some simple aerobics suitable for the recovery of the reproductive system under the guidance of professional caregivers, and the amount of exercise must be moderate.

Finally, I would like to remind mothers who are in confinement that if they want to have a slim figure, they must insist on breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is conducive to the recovery of the uterus and is very beneficial for the restoration of the body shape.
