Should I Wear An Abdominal Binder After A Hysterectomy?

[@blancaruiz2010]

Does it have to be a binder? Can I use just a regular elastic body shaper that I normally use under my clothes to look slimmer?

Hello, Thank you for this useful video. I am on my third week of Hysterectomy, and I am still wearing my binder. The reason because I feel my stomach is bulging or swelling, and without the binder, I can't walk that fast. Not sure if I done the right thing. Please advise.

Have you been cleared to start some light exercise? It’s hard to know your full situation, but gradually using binder less and engaging your muscles more while you are walking might be good to try. Let me know how it goes!

@@dr.dawnhealthypelvis yes I can do some light exercises like walking slowly around my block. I’ll start to walk without the binder from today onwards and will keep you posted on how it goes. Thank you ☺️
