Why does my waist hurt after giving birth?

Giving birth is a rebirth for women because it consumes so much energy. Women who have given birth know that back pain is the most common physical symptom. So, why does back pain occur after childbirth? Some people think that it is because they did not take good care of themselves during the confinement period, while others think that it is caused by being too tired from taking care of the child. Whatever the cause, it must be treated immediately.

Most women will have back pain after giving birth. If it is not treated early, it may cause a root of disease later. Today, based on the results of my search, I would like to share with you how to adjust postpartum back pain. Back pain refers to pain on one or both sides of the waist. Women have physiological characteristics such as pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, and they also have menstrual diseases, leucorrhea diseases, and pregnancy diseases.

During the late stages of pregnancy and childbirth, the endocrine system of women changes, which relaxes the ligaments connecting the pelvis. After childbirth, because this endocrine change has not yet been adjusted, the pelvis is still in a relaxed state, and the abdominal muscles after childbirth also become more relaxed, which increases the burden on the lumbar spine and is the main reason for the mother's own back pain.

Next, we will solve the problem of lower back pain in parturients from five aspects;

Daily life;

Two main points to note

1. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, keep it clean and avoid urinary system infection;

2. Patients who sit or stand for long periods of time should move their waist appropriately to relieve pain.

Dietary intake modification;

1. Avoid eating too much cold and damp food;

2. Some people who suffer from chronic low back pain can take some Chinese patent medicines to strengthen the kidneys and waist.

Rehabilitation massage therapy;

1. Press the lumbar sacral area with your palms - Lie on your stomach, overlap your palms and press them on the painful lumbar vertebrae until no pain is caused.

Then, one inhalation and one exhalation counts as one time, and do this 10 to 15 times;

2. Rub your back: Rub your back muscles with your palms in the morning or before going to bed, 50 to 100 times.

3. Rub the muscle knots: Use the tip of your thumb to carefully touch the waist and sacrum. If there are any painful lumps, press them with your fingertips and rub each knot for 1 minute.

4. Push the lower limbs: With the help of others, lie prone, fix the hips, and use the base of the palm to start from the sacrum, through the tun, along the outer side of the thigh and the outer side of the calf, to the other side of the limb;

Aerobics therapy;

1. Leg exercises: Lie on your back, hold one leg knee with both hands, bend your hip as much as possible, and make the front of your thigh close to your abdomen. Do this 5 to 10 times in a row, then do the other lower limb; then hold both knees with both hands at the same time, and do this 5 to 10 times at the same time. Do it once every night, or once more in the morning;

2. Sit-up exercise: Lie on your back and sit with your abdomen contracted. Be careful not to use your upper limbs to help, keep your lower limbs straight, and the number of times is not fixed. This exercise can also help reduce abdominal fat;

3. Waist rolling exercise: Lie on your back, keep your legs bent, curl up your body into a ball, and roll back and forth 10 to 20 times. Lie on your back and use a hot, wet towel (with no water flowing out) to apply to the painful area of ​​your waist and the sacrum slightly below. Place a hot water bag on top and keep warm for about 10 minutes, then continue to do this on both sides of your waist for about 10 minutes each. Finally, lie on your back and do the same with your abdomen. Especially suitable for lower back pain during menstruation. Pay attention to the temperature to avoid burns.
