The cesarean birth girdle is used for about 1 week, the exact time varies according to each person’s constitution.
The purpose of the post C-section band is to immobilize the mother’s abdomen to prevent it from shifting too much and affecting the wound healing, as well as to reduce the pain of the wound in the uterus. The wound heals 7 days after the cesarean section and the uterus is gradually shrinking at this time, so a cesarean section girdle can be used for about 1 week.
Avoid tightening the bandage too much to avoid affecting the blood circulation of the local tissues and the healing of the incision. At the same time, avoid using it for too long a day, so as to avoid the occurrence of back pain.
After cesarean section, keep the abdominal incision and perineum clean and dry, avoid getting water on the wound, and don’t scratch the wound with your hands to avoid bacterial infection. Diet should be based on light, easy-to-digest and nutritious food, such as white porridge, cabbage and lean meat.
If wound infection or bleeding occurs after cesarean delivery, you should inform your doctor in time to avoid adverse effects.
