Why does lower back pain occur after cesarean section?

Cesarean section is the choice of many women for childbirth nowadays. Of course, natural childbirth is the best. Many complications will occur after cesarean section, such as back pain after cesarean section. Sometimes the pain is very severe. Many new mothers don’t know what the reason is. Let’s talk about the problem of back pain after cesarean section.

There are many reasons for lower back pain after cesarean section. Let's take a look at them one by one. As we all know, cesarean section requires surgery, which will immediately cause damage to the body, so it will cause damage to the pregnant woman's back muscles and cruciate ligaments, which will immediately cause lower back pain, and surgery also requires anesthesia, anesthesia means that a puncture must be performed on the waist, which is very painful. Some pregnant women may suffer from nerve root damage in severe cases, and other conditions.

Why do pregnant women choose cesarean section? The main reason is due to reasons such as the transverse position of the fetus. The pregnant woman herself may have lumbar lordosis, which will immediately cause great pressure on the intervertebral disc and cause pain immediately after the operation. In addition, the pelvis may tilt forward, which are all reasons for low back pain.

Of course, there are many other reasons that can cause back pain after cesarean section. For example, the pregnant woman's body lacks calcium. Calcium can help strengthen bones. If the body's needs cannot be met, you need to supplement more high-quality protein. If the body's calcium deficiency will immediately cause back pain, you need to supplement the body's nutrients after giving birth. Some cases are caused by excessive fatigue, so you should rest more after giving birth. Don't squat or stand for a long time, which will cause muscle strain on the muscles and cruciate ligaments. The posture of holding the baby should also be correct. If it is wrong, it will cause back pain.

According to what we have said above, we know the reason for the back pain after cesarean section. After understanding the cause of back pain, we know that cesarean section is harmful to the body of pregnant women, especially the puncture anesthesia on the waist, the pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis of pregnant women are all causes of back pain. After giving birth, if the body is deficient in calcium, over-fatigue, and incorrect posture, back pain will occur.
