How to improve bleeding after childbirth with a belly belt

Many women have the habit of using belly belts after giving birth. In fact, if the belly belt is used incorrectly, it can easily lead to postpartum discomfort. You must know the time to use a belly belt after childbirth. In addition, the timing of using a belly belt is different for women who have had a caesarean section or a natural birth. Therefore, postpartum belly belts should not be used indiscriminately. The following will introduce the use of postpartum belly belts based on some actual situations.

Compared with caesarean section, the mother's body recovers faster after natural birth. So how long after a natural birth can you use a belly belt? Doctor's advice: It is beneficial to use a belly belt within one week after a normal birth. It is best to start using it on the third day after a normal birth. 7 days after a normal birth, if the new mother needs to return to work early, she can also use a belly belt for a short time, but be careful not to use it for too long. After one or two hours, you should untie it and relax the abdomen for a while.

Caesarean section is not as good as natural birth. The mother's recovery after delivery is slower and takes longer. So how long after a caesarean section can you use a belly belt? It is generally recommended that women who have undergone caesarean section should wait until the wound is roughly healed before using a belly belt. Once the cesarean section wound is infected, it will be detrimental to the future recovery of the wound of the mother. However, sometimes it is necessary to encourage the mother who has undergone cesarean section to cough out the spittoon, and it is also recommended that the mother who has undergone cesarean section use a belly belt for a short period of time on the second day after delivery.

The use of a belly band can bring many benefits to postpartum women, but if used for a long time, it will be counterproductive. Long-term use of an abdominal belt can easily lead to poor blood circulation, which can cause varicose veins in the lower limbs, lumbar muscle strain, hemorrhoids, etc. At the same time, long-term use of a belly belt after childbirth will affect blood circulation, restrict the activities of the lumbar muscles, abdomen and back, and prolong recovery time. Therefore, you must pay attention to the usage time of the belly belt after delivery. It is responsible for your own health to know how long you can use the belly belt after delivery.

Using a belly belt after childbirth does have a plastic effect, but it must be used scientifically and reasonably. If used improperly, it will not only fail to tighten the abdomen, but also be detrimental to the body's recovery. It may even lead to chronic bleeding after delivery, which will undoubtedly make various physical problems such as infection and anemia more likely to occur. I believe everyone has understood the use of postpartum belly belt after the above introduction.
