What should I do if I have lower back pain during the confinement period after a caesarean section?

Low back pain refers to pain that occurs on one or both sides of the lower back. Women have physiological characteristics such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, as well as pathological characteristics such as menstrual disorders, leucorrhea, pregnancy diseases, gynecological diseases, and birth control, so low back pain is a common symptom. More than 80% of multiparous women may experience low back pain, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period, which is often considered to be physiological pain and does not require special treatment. In fact, the degree of low back pain in women varies from person to person, there are great clinical differences, and the duration of the pain also varies. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out some treatment, but more importantly, it is one's own self-rehabilitation and health care. Low back pain may not seem to be a serious illness, but severe cases can affect work and life, causing pain to patients. Moreover, it often recurs and is difficult to cure completely. The following are some of the common causes of low back pain in women: abnormal position of the uterus, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic tumors, pelvic blood disease, IUD insertion and other stimulation, which can also cause low back pain by compressing the nerves; relaxation of the sacrospinal ligament and lumbar muscle strain can increase the support force of the waist and fatigue can cause low back pain; too many births, frequent abortions, excessive sexual activity or exogenous dampness can also cause low back pain.

1. Daily life: avoid cold and dampness, keep warm. Women with low back pain should pay attention to keeping warm, especially in the cold and damp seasons of winter and spring, and they need to keep their waists warm. Try to avoid getting wet in the rain and catching cold, sleeping in the wind at night, etc. Avoid lying in damp places for a long time. In cold and damp seasons, you can use an electric heating mattress to dispel the cold and keep warm. Regular waist movements can stretch the waist muscles and promote blood circulation in local muscles. Therefore, for patients who sit or stand for long periods of time at work, they should exercise their waist appropriately from time to time to relieve tension in the waist muscles and relieve pain. For example, you can walk a little indoors, do some exercises to move your waist, etc. Pay attention to sexual hygiene. When low back pain is significantly aggravated, sexual intercourse should be avoided. During the remission period, the frequency of sexual intercourse should also be appropriately adjusted. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, keep the vulva clean, avoid urinary and reproductive system infections, and reduce factors that aggravate low back pain. Do a good job in family planning, avoid excessive abortions, and choose appropriate contraceptive methods. For low back pain and menstrual abnormalities caused by IUD insertion, other birth control measures can be used to alleviate the progression of the disease. Patients with low back pain should avoid using a waist binder that is too tight, as it can cause local blood circulation disorders and aggravate the condition. It is inappropriate for some women to use waist binding to maintain a slim figure after giving birth. The correct approach is to do postpartum health care exercises to truly achieve the goal of beauty.

2. Diet adjustment: The diet of people with low back pain is generally not much different from that of normal people. But be careful to avoid eating too much raw, cold and damp food, and even in summer, it is not advisable to drink too many frozen drinks. It is not advisable to eat too much cold and slippery fruits at one time, such as watermelon. For chronic low back pain that persists, you can take some Chinese patent medicines that strengthen the kidneys and waist regularly, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Shenqi Pills, Shiquan Dabu Pills, etc. You can choose the right one according to your physical condition and condition.
