Can I wear a postpartum abdominal binder while sleeping at night?

Under normal circumstances, it is generally not recommended to wear a postpartum abdominal binder while sleeping at night. Specific details are as follows:

The primary function of a postpartum abdominal binder is to prevent internal organ prolapse and promote uterine recovery, thereby avoiding issues such as uterine displacement. If a woman wears the abdominal binder while sleeping at night, it may produce counterproductive effects, potentially leading to adverse consequences such as impaired cardiac blood supply, reduced sleep quality, increased intra-abdominal pressure, decreased appetite, and poor circulation. It is recommended that women remove the abdominal binder before going to bed at night. This can help promote overall blood circulation, ensuring adequate blood and oxygen supply to all organs, and also improve sleep quality.

In summary, if any discomfort occurs, individuals should seek timely medical attention at a hospital to prevent potential complications.
