Treatment for postpartum back pain

The most important thing in a woman's life is to give birth to a baby of her own, not for the purpose of continuing the family line, but just to grow up with her or him. However, you must get enough rest during pregnancy and after giving birth, and pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise it is easy to suffer from postpartum diseases. It is best to start prevention when you are just pregnant, control your weight, and try not to gain too much weight while ensuring that the fetus is adequately supplied with nutrients.

Ways to prevent and relieve back pain after childbirth:

1. Eat a balanced diet before childbirth to avoid obesity, which will increase the burden on the waist and cause damage to the lumbar muscles and ligaments.

2. Appropriate calcium supplementation during pregnancy: drink more milk, eat more calcium-rich foods such as sesame seeds, and get more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption. While preventing back pain, it also provides sufficient calcium for the fetus and baby.

3. Get enough sleep after delivery, change your bed position frequently, avoid squatting or standing for a long time, and do not run or walk long distances too early to avoid retroverted uterus or uterine prolapse causing low back pain.

4. Adopt the correct breastfeeding posture: any posture that makes your waist feel relaxed and comfortable is fine. It is better to sit on a low stool. If you sit in a higher position, you can put one foot on a footrest or lean your body against the chair. It's best to place a pillow on your lap to elevate your baby and also to support his weight.

5. Do stretching and squatting to exercise the waist muscles. Do the anus lifting and abdominal contraction exercises regularly every day to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. You can also do back physiotherapy or massage to relax the muscles.

6. If you experience lower back pain and appropriate lower back massage does not relieve the pain, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
