Is wearing a belly band harmful to the body?

In order to make their abdomen look thinner, many women often choose belly bands to hide excess fat, and the effect of belly bands is indeed very good, but is wearing a belly band harmful to the body? If you use a belly band for a long time, it will cause great harm. The most obvious thing is that the blood circulation is blocked because the abdominal belt is too tight, which may cause various complications, such as varicose veins in the lower limbs or lumbar muscle strain.

Disadvantages of long-term use of belly band

Long-term use of an abdominal belt can lead to poor blood circulation, causing varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain, etc. In addition, if the corset is too tight after childbirth, it will increase abdominal pressure and reduce the supporting force of the reproductive organ ligaments, thereby causing uterine prolapse, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus, bulging of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina, etc., and easily induce gynecological diseases such as pelvic venous congestion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis.

In order to nurture a new life, the mother's abdominal muscles are stretched, the abdominal skin is stretched, and the pelvis becomes wider. Some mothers do not control their abdomen during the confinement period and let it go, while others are eager to tighten their abdomen and use belly belts a few days after giving birth. In fact, both of these extreme approaches are not conducive to postpartum abdominal recovery. To help the abdomen recover after childbirth, use the belly belt correctly.

Benefits of using a belly band

After childbirth, due to the weakness of the body, the elasticity of the ligaments in the body cannot be restored immediately, which can easily lead to visceral prolapse. The main organs are: stomach, kidneys, uterus, and liver. The main manifestations of gastric ptosis are a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen and a dull pain in the stomach immediately after eating; the main manifestations of renal ptosis are hematuria and proteinuria; the main manifestation of uterine ptosis is a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen; the main manifestation of hepatic ptosis is a dull pain in the liver area. Therefore, it is recommended that postpartum mothers must wear a belly belt that suits them to help the body support internal organs. For new mothers who have undergone cesarean section, using a belly belt promptly after delivery can also help stop bleeding and promote wound healing.

In addition, fat is mobile within six months after delivery, and this period is the best time to reshape your body. Proper use of a belly belt has a huge impact on postpartum body recovery.
