What is low back pain after cesarean section?

As the saying goes, being a new mother is difficult, especially mothers who have undergone caesarean section have reported that they often experience back pain after delivery. Once it occurs, it is very painful. What is back pain after caesarean section?

Nowadays, more and more women prefer to choose caesarean section, but caesarean section will cause some sequelae, such as low back pain. Low back pain may occur after a cesarean section, and a big reason for this is that the cesarean section causes damage to the muscles and ligaments in the lower back, leading to low back pain. The anesthesia during cesarean section is epidural anesthesia, which requires a puncture in the waist. This puncture will 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.

To avoid postpartum back pain, mothers should pay more attention to rest after delivery and keep their head and back warm. If properly cared for, postpartum back pain can heal itself within 3 months after delivery. If the situation does not improve, you should go to a regular hospital for a test and receive symptomatic treatment after a confirmed diagnosis.
