What to do if you have back pain during breastfeeding?

Some women who are breastfeeding often feel pain in their backs, especially at night, when they feel severe back pain and often need to tap their backs with their hands to feel better. I don't do any heavy labor in my daily life, I just take care of my children, so will this symptom occur? What causes this? Is the problem serious? Do I need treatment? If I need treatment, what should I do?

Reasons for postpartum back pain:

Women often experience back pain after childbirth. Generally, it is a normal physiological reaction. Some people suffer from exogenous arthritis or lumbar muscle strain due to overwork. Don't worry too much. You should pay more attention to rest! Proper rest can effectively relieve the symptoms of back pain.

Measures to relieve postpartum back pain:

Method 1: Allow the waist and back muscles to get proper rest, because when the muscles are in pain, they will release a pain substance that continues to stimulate the surrounding tissues, causing contraction of blood vessels and muscles, and causing new pain. If they are not well cared for, it will become a vicious cycle and the pain will continue.

Method 2: Spend as much time as possible lying down, which can reduce the burden on the muscles around the spine that support the body upright and relax them. Generally, many Chinese medicinal materials are added to tonic foods, and wine is used as a medicine guide. These Chinese medicinal materials can relax the meridians and promote blood circulation, dilate capillaries, and increase blood circulation.

Note:

During the breastfeeding period, you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid bad posture, do not sleep on a soft bed, and do not sit or lie down for a long time; you can usually do local hot compresses, massage, acupuncture and other treatments to effectively prevent and relieve symptoms.

If breastfeeding women experience back pain, they should pay attention. You should pay attention to getting more rest, and when breastfeeding, you must pay attention to your posture. You can breastfeed your baby while sitting, and then lean on a soft pillow on your back. This can relieve the force on your back and thus reduce the symptoms of back pain.
