The corset is a personal product for the woman; therefore, knowing if it is suitable for use and the correct method of use must allow the corset to help you the most.


Suitable for


Although women with caesarean section and natural products can use corset belts, Dr. Wang Leming believes that “there is a need to consider the use of corset belts,” so it is not recommended to use natural producers; and when the caesarean section is stable, no After there is obvious pain and does not affect the action, it is actually unnecessary to continue wearing the corset belt.


2. When to start


In caesarean section, the corset belt can be worn as soon as possible after surgery. Some women will be prepared to bring them into the delivery room, and then they will be helped by the medical staff. Otherwise, they will wait for the ward to ask the nurse to help.


3. Wearing style


When wearing a belt, you must apply a little force to fit on the abdomen. It feels like "pull the tension + moderate pressure"; too loose, no effect, too tight may even have difficulty breathing. Generally, the mother has just had no strength after the production. It is recommended to ask the medical staff or the family to help; directly put the corset belt on the body and close to the skin, or the sensitive person can wear a thin shirt and then use the corset belt. Both methods are acceptable.

It is unknown to wear it in the stomach, and even the top to the diaphragm is uncomfortable! The correct position is the abdomen below the navel. There are two reasons: First, the caesarean section wound in the lower abdomen, wearing the right position can give a moderate pressure, reduce pain, walk more convenient; Second, the postpartum uterus is still in a high position, the corset belt can give support, so that the mother will not have A sense of falling. Therefore, as long as the dress is right, the mother should have a feeling of "half support + pressure".

Looking at personal circumstances can vary from hours to hours. The main recommendation is to wear a corset belt when you need to move, such as standing, walking, etc.; when the maternal is in a resting state (sitting or lying), it will not pull the wound, so it is not necessary to wear it, so as not to affect the appetite or even make it difficult for the body to relax. .
