A member asked:
Does wearing a back brace or a cesearian girdle everyday helps with the healing process after having a c-section (4days ago)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but...: It will not help with the healing process. On the other hand those are quite popular and many patients say they help ease the pain of recovery. The healing process will be the same but if it makes you feel better than it's certainly okay to do it.
