Disease description:

After giving birth, my body naturally became somewhat heavier; now that I’ve returned to work, I sit for long periods daily, causing my abdomen to grow increasingly larger—and it looks particularly unattractive. I’d like to know: Can regularly massaging the abdomen help with weight loss?

Hello, abdominal massage can contribute to weight loss to some extent. Performing abdominal massage before bedtime each day helps improve blood circulation, enhances vascular patency in the abdominal area, and aids in burning abdominal fat. However, it is important to ensure proper technique and apply moderate pressure during the massage—and consistency over a prolonged period is essential. While massaging, maintain focused attention and lie supine (flat on your back). I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
