How to prevent pelvic pain in women after childbirth

Many pregnant women often experience pelvic pain after giving birth. This is actually caused by pubic symphysis separation. This disease often begins during pregnancy and delivery. During the delivery process, the fetus's head will gradually enter the pregnant woman's pelvis. At this time, the pregnant woman's ovaries will secrete a hormone that will relax the pubic symphysis cartilage and ligaments, making it easier for the fetus to be born. But if the ligaments are not loose enough, it can easily lead to pelvic pain. So how can women prevent pelvic pain after childbirth?

How to prevent postpartum pelvic pain:

1. Pregnant women should have a scientific and reasonable diet during pregnancy to avoid excessive nutrition that makes the fetus too large and aggravates the separation of the pubic symphysis.

2. Pregnant women should pay attention to proper exercise to enhance the tension of muscles and ligaments, but avoid large-scale movements of the waist and hips and some strenuous exercises.

3. During the delivery process, you should maintain the correct posture, actively cooperate with the doctor to use the correct force, and avoid excessive force; for some factors that may lead to dystocia, such as macrosomia and long labor, cesarean section is recommended to avoid aggravating the separation of the pubic symphysis.

4. When pelvic pain occurs during pregnancy and after childbirth, do not be too nervous, but pay attention to the combination of work and rest, rest in bed appropriately, the mattress should not be too soft, and avoid standing, sitting or walking for long periods of time.

Generally speaking, pelvic pain will gradually decrease and eventually disappear after delivery, but if pelvic pain does not decrease or even worsens after delivery, you should be alert and go to the hospital as soon as possible. Once symphysis pubis separation is diagnosed, it can be corrected by manual reduction and pelvic girdle fixation. Manual reduction is currently one of the effective treatments for symphysis pubis separation. It stimulates the acupoints through the mechanical force of massage, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect.

To sum up, if pregnant women want to avoid pelvic pain during the delivery process, they must pay attention to care during pregnancy. I hope that pregnant friends must pay attention to a healthy diet and eat more foods rich in plant fiber. This can promote the secretion of hormones from the ovaries and make the ligaments and cartilage in the pelvis more relaxed.
