Women are more likely to suffer from back pain during breastfeeding

Some women are prone to lower back pain after giving birth, especially during breastfeeding. Although low back pain is just a symptom, if it is not solved in time, it will also affect women's normal life. Low back pain during breastfeeding is not only related to women's improper lifestyle and sitting posture during the confinement period, but is actually related to the continued expansion of the uterus during pregnancy, which causes the body's core to shift and the pelvis to tilt forward, resulting in a feeling of low back pain.

Generally speaking, if you feel back pain during breastfeeding, you only need to pay attention to the usual medical care methods. If you have just given birth, you must avoid inappropriate postures. Especially in southern Fujian, many people are accustomed to lying on the bed for a long time, and not paying attention to exercise is likely to aggravate the back pain during breastfeeding.

In addition, according to folk customs, you should not overwork during the confinement period to avoid injuries and aggravate the feeling of back pain. In addition, after giving birth, because the whole body of a woman is still in the recovery period, especially the endocrine system, pelvic cruciate ligament, etc. are still in the recovery period, the waist muscles are relatively loose. In addition, breastfeeding women usually also have the responsibility of childcare, which can easily lead to pelvic blood stasis. Chinese medicine believes that if there is no pain, then there is pain, but if there is blockage, then pelvic blood stasis can easily aggravate the pain in the waist.
