Concerns such as umbilical sagging, abdominal fat, and navel
stay are common after normal birth or cesarean surgery. For this reason, many
mothers plan to use exercise or corsets. As with any undisputed person, exercise
is the most useful method to keep the shape of the abdomen-belly after
childbirth.
Using a corset is not expected to be beneficial in abdominal
straightening and belly melting after normal birth or cesarean. Because the
problem is, due to the weight gained during pregnancy, fat accumulates in the
abdomen and the abdominal muscles lose their strength. The solution to these
two problems is to do the correct abdominal muscle exercises. In this way, a
better shape of the abdomen can be obtained than before. It is impossible for
the corset to melt the weight gained during pregnancy and the fat accumulated
in the abdomen, including those sold under the name of the slimming corset.
Corset use cannot strengthen the abdominal muscles that stretch excessively
during pregnancy and lose their strength. The noticeable change in the shape of
the abdomen and belly when using the corset is not due to the corset itself but
the weight lost after birth. Regular exercise and proper nutrition practice is
the healthiest solution for the mother who wants permanent improvement in the
abdominal region. Other methods do not provide permanent benefit unless these
are done.
It is reported that the use of corsets too tight and for a
long time may be harmful for waist health. May cause weakness and muscle
retention and lower back pain in the muscles around the waist. Therefore, it
should never be used without consulting a doctor. If it is to be used, it
should not exceed a few hours during the day and should be removed at night. It
should not be too tight and cotton ones should be preferred. Any herniated
disc, spine, etc. Those who have problems should never use a corset without
consulting an orthopedic or neurosurgeon specialist.
