Can I remove the belly band 12 days after cesarean section?

Many women hope to have a natural birth when they are pregnant, so that their children will be healthier and there will be less harm to the body. However, sometimes they will continue to have a cesarean section, but many women want to use a belt after a cesarean section. So, can I wear a belt 12 days after a caesarean section?

Can the binding belt be removed 12 days after cesarean section?

Regarding the question of how long the cesarean section belt should be used, generally speaking, the use of the belt after cesarean section can be continued until 6 months after giving birth, because this 6-month period is the stage of fat mobility. If used properly, it will have a great effect on the recovery of the body after giving birth.

In addition, mothers who have undergone cesarean section should also pay attention to the time they wear the restraint belt every day. Under normal circumstances, the strap should be put on 30 minutes after a meal, after urinating, and taken off before going to bed.

It is particularly important to note that mothers who have undergone cesarean section should avoid long-term use of restraints, because long-term use of restraints may lead to poor blood circulation, which may cause varicose veins in the lower limbs after cesarean section, lumbar muscle strain, hemorrhoids and other postpartum symptoms. In addition, the application of restraints should vary from person to person. If the mother's body recovers well after cesarean section, she does not need to use a belt, especially after the stitches in the abdomen are removed, it is not suitable to use a belt for a long time.

Should I use a pelvic belt or a restraint belt first to tighten my abdomen after childbirth?

Regardless of whether the mother gives birth naturally or by caesarean section, their pelvis will become larger due to the increase in testosterone, in preparation for natural childbirth. The study found that within 42 days after giving birth, female hormones did not decrease and the pelvis still had good elasticity. Therefore, applying appropriate external force to the pelvis in time within 42 days after giving birth can effectively help the pelvis restore to its pre-natal state. In other words, unlike the recovery of a woman's abdomen, the pelvis can only respond effectively during the period of confinement.

Therefore, whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, the mother can start using the pelvic correction belt 2 or 3 days after giving birth, as long as the personal feeling is already good. The pelvic belt is different from the general restraint belt. It is used at a lower position. Its function is to appropriately release the inward pressure on the pelvis and promote its recovery as soon as possible.

Benefits of using a strap:

After giving birth, pregnant women are physically weak and the elasticity of their tendons cannot be restored immediately, which can easily lead to sagging of internal organs. The key internal organs are: stomach, kidneys, uterus, and liver. Gastroptosis is manifested by a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen and dull pain in the stomach immediately after eating; renal ptosis is manifested by hematuria and proteinuria; uterine ptosis is manifested by a feeling of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen; hepatic relaxation is manifested by dull pain in the liver. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers wear a suitable belt to help the body support the internal organs. For new mothers after cesarean section, using a restraint belt immediately after giving birth can also promote blood circulation and promote wound healing.

In addition, the body fat is fluid within six months after giving birth. This period of time is the golden time for reshaping the body. The effective use of a restraint belt has a great effect on the recovery of the body after giving birth.

How long does a caesarean section take?

In fact, the operation time for cesarean section is much faster than that for natural birth. Natural birth takes about ten hours, while cesarean section takes less than an hour. This is the time required for a normal pregnant woman. If the pregnant woman has any abnormalities during the cesarean section, the time spent will be longer.

In addition, during the cesarean section period, the only thing the family members have to do is to wait patiently. The family members have no way of knowing the condition of the pregnant woman, so some families will cry and make a fuss outside the delivery room, which will affect the doctor's surgical treatment and the delivery process of the pregnant woman.
