How long after giving birth can I use a belly belt?

Whether it is a caesarean section or a natural birth, the harm caused to the female body is still relatively large. Many women develop diseases during the confinement period, which causes lifelong impacts. The correct use of the belly band can greatly reduce the complications that may occur during this period and is very effective. So, how long after giving birth can you use a belly belt? Let's take a detailed look at the use of belly belts.

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.

Whether mothers give birth naturally or by cesarean section, their pelvis will widen due to increased hormones in preparation for natural birth. Research has found that within 42 days after delivery, female hormones have not yet decreased and the pelvis still has good plasticity. Therefore, applying moderate external force to the pelvis in time within 42 days after delivery can effectively help the pelvis return to its pre-delivery state. In other words, unlike the recovery of a woman's abdomen, the pelvis can only recover effectively during the confinement period.

Therefore, whether the mother has a natural birth or a caesarean section, she can start using the pelvic correction belt 2 or 3 days after delivery as long as she feels good. The pelvic belt is different from the general abdominal belt. It is used at a lower position. Its function is to apply moderate inward pressure to the pelvis to promote its recovery as soon as possible.

I think everyone should have a clear idea about how long you can use a belly belt after giving birth. There are many things to pay attention to when using a belly belt. Generally, it will take two months. Before that, women's bodies are relatively weak and need a certain amount of time to recover. Don't rush to use a belly belt, as it may have the opposite effect.
