How long does it take to remove the medical belly band

Medical abdominal belts are not unfamiliar to many people, especially after women give birth, medical abdominal belts are widely used.

There are many things to pay attention to when using a medical belly band, such as the usage time. So how long does it take to remove the medical belly band?

1. Not too long

Using a belly belt after childbirth can not only help the cesarean section incision heal, but also help restore body shape after childbirth. If it is the former, it can generally be used within 7 days after caesarean section and does not need to be used for too long. If it is the latter, the mother can decide the length of use according to her needs.

2. The role of the belly belt

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 gastroptosis are a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen and dull pain in the stomach immediately after eating. The main manifestations of renal ptosis are hematuria and proteinuria. The main symptom of uterine prolapse is a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. The main symptom of hepatoptosis is 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.

3. Time

The belly band should be worn half an hour after meals and after urination, and removed before going to bed. At the same time, the use of belly bands should vary from person to person. After a normal delivery, you should strengthen your exercise, do leg lifts, sit-ups and some postpartum exercises regularly, and avoid relying on a belly belt for a long time. After a caesarean section, it is not advisable to use a belly belt for a long time after the stitches are removed from the abdomen. If you are too thin or have sagging internal organs, you should remove the abdominal belt after the organs are lifted and restored.
