What to do if your buttocks hurt after giving birth

Postpartum anal pain is related to the increased abdominal pressure during childbirth, which causes the venous plexus around the anus to expand, and some may cause hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Anal pain is medically called anal distension and pain. For anal distension and pain, you can use potassium permanganate solution to warm the anus. Potassium permanganate solution comes in two kinds: tablets and granules. You can use one tablet at a time and 4-5 granules at a time. Add them to 1000ml of boiling water. The temperature of the boiling water can reach 80-90 degrees. You can first steam the anus with water vapor, and when the temperature drops to about 30-40 degrees, you can bathe the anus in potassium permanganate solution. You can also do anal contraction exercises to treat anal pain.

Postpartum buttock pain is usually caused by incorrect posture or osteoporosis during pregnancy, or improper exertion during childbirth, which can cause lumbar disc disease to compress the lumbar spine and nerves, causing buttock pain. For this situation, the solutions are as follows: 1. If the symptoms are not serious, pregnant women can lie on a hard bed to rest to improve the intervertebral disc disease. With the help of family members, they can appropriately massage and heat the intervertebral disc area and buttocks to relieve the symptoms. Eat more milk, yogurt, tofu, walnut kernels, fungus, black sesame powder and other foods in the diet.

If the pain symptoms are severe and there is no obvious effect after the above treatment methods, you should go to a tertiary hospital as soon as possible to do a CT or MRI examination of the intervertebral disc to further confirm the diagnosis. After the diagnosis, you can receive acupuncture and massage treatment in the rehabilitation and physiotherapy department.

If the anus is swollen and painful after delivery, visual inspection around the anus should be performed to determine whether anal fissure exists. Generally, after childbirth, defecation is prone to be difficult, constipation is aggravated, resulting in dry and hard stools, damage to the anal skin and causing lacerations, and causing anal swelling and pain after giving birth.
