Why do I have back pain after three months of pregnancy?

During pregnancy, women gain weight, their physical fitness decreases, their exercise intensity decreases, and the pressure on their back muscles increases. If they are tired or stimulated by cold, they will cause symptoms of soreness and pain. Drugs cannot be used for treatment during pregnancy. It is recommended that women get enough rest during pregnancy, and take a proper walk outdoors, breathe fresh air and bask in the sun. Improving nutritionally balanced diet, controlling the rate of weight gain, relieving pressure on the waist and back muscles and cardiovascular system is beneficial to the health of pregnant women and the growth and development of the fetus.

It is very common to experience back pain after pregnancy. The main reason is that the pelvis tilts forward and the kyphosis of the intervertebral disc increases after pregnancy. In this case, the physiological curvature of the intervertebral disc changes. At the same time, the waist muscles are congested and swollen, the muscle strength is reduced, and the body weight is increased, causing waist pain. If you catch a cold or sleep on a soft bed, the pain will be more obvious. First of all, you should actively pay attention to rest, rest on a hard bed, and correct your body posture. Avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time and carry out appropriate rehabilitation exercises for the waist and back muscles.

If you have lower back pain during the third and a half months of pregnancy, you should first consider the factors at the muscle and soft tissue level, which cause lower back pain, pain, and discomfort. Because after a woman becomes pregnant, her weight increases rapidly in a short period of time, which increases the load on the intervertebral disc. As the load on the intervertebral disc increases, the relative soft tissue support of the waist and back decreases, causing chronic waist and back tendon damage and resulting in low back and leg pain. Second, there are neural factors to consider. Because many female patients have mild lumbar disc or disc bulging, which usually has no clinical symptoms, but after pregnancy, due to weight gain, the originally protruding or protruding lumbar disc will be further aggravated on the original basis, compressing the dura mater, posterior longitudinal ligament, and nerve roots, causing aggravated back pain.

Therefore, the above two factors are the most common, both of which are due to the increase in weight causing the load on the intervertebral disc to increase, resulting in aggravated relative symptoms of muscle soft tissue or nerves. First, you should rest to minimize the increase in intervertebral disc pressure. Second, we need to enhance muscle rehabilitation training of the waist, back and lower limbs. Third, physical therapy can be carried out if necessary, and medication should be minimized after pregnancy.
