How long can I wear a corset after caesarean section?
It is not recommended to use corset after caesarean section. The bandage mainly plays the role of lifting abdomen and decompressing. But it should not be too tight, so as not to affect uterine contraction. During confinement, the uterus is still in the repair stage. If the belt is tied, it is easy to cause poor uterine contraction and affect the discharge of lochia.
Generally speaking, it is better to use abdominal belt for caesarean section for no more than 7 or 8 hours a day. If used for a long time, it may make the body uncomfortable and have a certain impact on the recovery of the body. It is generally recommended to use the abdominal belt half an hour after meals every day, and it is not necessary to tie the abdominal belt 24 hours a day. It is best to use the abdominal belt on the 6 th and 7 th day of caesarean section. The material of the abdominal belt must be soft and breathable. When using the abdominal belt, you need to lie flat, keep your knees upright, keep your feet flat, and raise your hips slightly to avoid using it too tightly and for too long, otherwise it may affect the blood circulation in the abdomen, leading to backache and hemorrhoids. It is generally recommended that caesarean section be performed only when lochia is completely discharged and the birth canal recovers well.

Therefore, the abdominal belt is generally used when getting up and can be taken off when sleeping at night. I suggest you decide according to your own situation.

If the parturient has high blood pressure, hemorrhoids and other diseases that are not suitable for natural delivery, or the elderly parturient gives birth, it is best to choose caesarean section. Caesarean section can also prevent hypoxia caused by too long delivery time. Choosing caesarean section can not only greatly shorten the delivery time, but also reduce the time of maternal labor pains and reduce the process of baby's birth canal squeezing and struggling, thus making both sides suffer less. By caesarean section, the baby does not need to pass through the pelvis like a natural delivery, which can reduce the risk of hypoxia, dystocia and aspiration of amniotic fluid.
