How long does it take to remove the belly band after cesarean section

No matter how good something is, it needs to be taken off after a certain period of time, otherwise it will have a counterproductive effect. For example, the postpartum belt is an item for women to restore their health after childbirth. The best time to use it can achieve the purpose of body shaping and fitness, but this is based on the effective time period. If it exceeds the time, it may have a counterproductive effect. The following is what we are going to talk about how long to take off the belly belt after a cesarean section!

It is usually recommended that the maximum daily usage time should not exceed 12 hours. The belly belt should be used during the day. The correct way to use it is: wear the belly belt half an hour after meals and after urinating, and take it off half an hour before meals. Be sure to remove the belly band before going to bed at night. How long to use the belly band depends on each person's situation. There are large individual differences, but it is generally 6-8 weeks. Moreover, there are some restrictions on the use of this kind of belly band, namely: use non-elastic cotton cloth; it must be moderately tight so as not to affect normal breathing and eating, and it cannot be so tight as to affect blood circulation. According to this standard, the lumbar muscles of postpartum women are not completely immobile like those of patients with spinal cord injury, and the normal blood supply to the muscles can be guaranteed. In this way, based on the recommended maximum use time, the lumbar muscles may have a certain degree of disuse atrophy, but it will not be too serious.

When choosing a belly belt, it is recommended that you choose the abdominal belt used in clinical practice, which is different from the common high-elastic abdominal belt on the market. The abdominal band used clinically extends from below the breast to the pubic bone. This type of abdominal band used in hospitals is generally made of pure cotton cloth, with multiple straps on both sides, extending from below the breasts to the pubic bone. The two sides are alternately overlapped and wrapped, spiraling upwards, and finally fixed with safety pins or knots.

The purpose of using the binding belt is to plasticize and prevent the sagging of organs. When using it, individuals must use it according to their personal situation and must not use it blindly, because improper use will cause harm to the body, so everyone must pay attention!
