How to remedy lower back pain during confinement?

Women in the confinement period will experience a significant decline in various body functions, which brings great difficulties to women's lives. This is because the body needs time to relieve the stress of childbirth, and confinement is this recovery process. Therefore, the problems that arise during the confinement period are very important and need to be solved in time. How to remedy back pain during the confinement period? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

First, postpartum mothers are weak , have lochia discharge, and have to breastfeed their babies, so their nutritional needs are very high. They should eat a reasonable diet, especially calcium supplements, because a big cause of postpartum low back pain is calcium deficiency in the body. If you eat more high-calcium milk, millet porridge, eggs, beans, bone soup, dried shrimps and other foods after delivery, you can avoid and treat postpartum low back pain caused by calcium deficiency.

Second, do not lie still all the time after giving birth . You should also do some appropriate exercise, but not excessive weight. You can massage the painful points of your waist by yourself or ask your family to do so. You can also try walking backwards when appropriate. Walking backwards can force the center of gravity of the human body to move backward, exercise the muscles of the waist to relieve pain, and correct the symptoms of lumbar curvature and lumbar lordosis.

Third, after a cesarean section, you must pay attention to keeping your waist warm. The body is very weak after childbirth because the bone joints are still recovering. The head, waist, joints and other parts should be kept warm to avoid cold and postpartum diseases. At the same time, you should also avoid stretching your lumbar muscles. If your lumbar muscles are not always relaxed, they will be damaged. Therefore, you should avoid lifting heavy objects after delivery and adopt the correct posture to feed your baby.

Postpartum women must avoid using medication to treat low back pain casually. Generally speaking, as long as proper care is provided, postpartum low back pain will not continue to develop, and most of the time it can heal itself gradually within 3 months after delivery. If the symptoms do not improve but become more severe, you should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and receive symptomatic treatment after a confirmed diagnosis.
