How to improve back pain after cesarean section

Caesarean section is very harmful to the mother's body. Although caesarean section relieves pain during childbirth, if you choose caesarean section, you need to accept the risk of complications after giving birth. You need to take good care of yourself after caesarean section, otherwise you will have back pain. So, today, let's talk about how to improve back pain after caesarean section?

Causes of low back pain after cesarean section:

1. Anesthesia complications: The anesthesia used during cesarean section requires lumbar puncture. This type of puncture will cause certain damage to the latissimus dorsi muscles and tendons, causing postpartum low back pain.

2. Lack of calcium in physical fitness. The lack of calcium in the new mother's physical fitness is also the cause of low back pain after giving birth. During pregnancy and delivery, the physical fitness of pregnant women is relatively weak, and they have to breastfeed after giving birth, so the outflow of high-quality protein in the body will be very serious, which can easily cause postpartum low back pain.

3. Fatigue after giving birth. If you do not pay attention to medical care during the confinement period, it will be a major health hazard for pregnant women. Many new mothers start to do all kinds of housework and take care of their newborns after giving birth. The body will not be able to bear the physical exhaustion, and long-term like this will naturally cause back pain.

4. Lack of fitness exercise. Many women have been sitting in bed for a long time during the confinement period and lack of exercise for a long time, which causes slow blood circulation, increased waist fat, increased waist muscle burden, and caused lumbar muscle strain and low back pain.

5. Modern scientific research believes that postpartum low back pain is caused by the fact that the endocrine system has not recovered after giving birth, the pelvic tendons are still in a loose state, the spinal deformity needs time to recover, the waist muscles are also relatively loose, and it is further caused by breastfeeding or poor medical care after childbirth.

How to improve back pain after cesarean section?

1. After giving birth, you should supplement calcium and zinc appropriately, because the main cause of postpartum low back pain is the lack of calcium in the human body. If you eat more foods high in calcium after giving birth, you can avoid postpartum low back pain caused by calcium deficiency.

2. Do moderate exercise after giving birth. Long-term lack of exercise is the cause of low back pain. Therefore, doing more exercise after giving birth can alleviate the symptoms of postpartum low back pain, exercise the waist muscles to relieve pain, and correct the symptoms of cervical curvature and lumbar lordosis.

3. Pay attention to keeping your waist warm. The body after giving birth is very weak, so the head and waist should be kept warm to avoid illness caused by cold.

4. Prevent the lumbar disc from sliding upward. If the waist muscles are always in a state of not relaxing, the waist muscles will be damaged. Therefore, you should avoid lifting objects after giving birth and adopt the correct posture to breastfeed your baby.

If the postpartum low back pain is severe, it will cause other complications, so new mothers should pay attention to it. If the condition cannot be improved, they should go to the hospital for examination and then use medication after diagnosis.
