Low back pain after cesarean section

Although medical technology has advanced, many women will choose the method of delivery based on the condition of themselves and the fetus under the advice of Dr. A Zi before giving birth. Cesarean section is the choice of many mothers during childbirth. Of course, many mothers will often experience back pain after a cesarean section. Sometimes when the symptoms are severe, it will have a certain impact on the mother's daily life. Many mothers believe that this phenomenon is caused by the anesthesia during cesarean section. In fact, there are other reasons for back pain after cesarean section.

Causes of back pain after cesarean section

1. Physiological calcium deficiency

One of the main reasons for low back pain is calcium deficiency. After giving birth, the mother consumes a lot of energy, and her body is very weak at this time. In addition, she needs to breastfeed after giving birth, so the calcium loss in the body is serious, which can easily cause low back pain.

2. Wrong posture causes back pain after childbirth

Many women need to take care of their children after giving birth. They often hold their babies without paying attention to their posture, which causes the center of gravity of the body to move forward, causing tension in the waist muscles. If this continues for a long time, the waist muscles will become fatigued, resulting in postpartum back pain.

3. Excessive fatigue causes postpartum back pain

After the confinement period, some women start to be busy with various housework, such as washing clothes, cooking, taking care of babies, working and doing housework. So many things make women's bodies overwhelmed, so it is not surprising that they experience back pain.

4. Lack of exercise causes back pain after childbirth

Many women have been sitting in bed for a long time during the confinement period. Due to excessive rest, the blood circulation in the body is slow. After the confinement period, they lack exercise, which leads to increased abdominal fat and increased load on the waist muscles, causing lumbar muscle strain and low back pain.

5. Caesarean section surgery causes back pain due to damage to the muscles and ligaments in the waist and back

For various reasons, more and more women are giving birth through cesarean sections, which require anesthesia and a puncture in the waist. This puncture can cause certain damage to the muscles and ligaments of the waist and back, causing postpartum low back pain. A very small number of patients may suffer from nerve root damage, epidural hemorrhage, etc.
