What causes lower back pain and bloody vaginal discharge during confinement?

Many female friends will suffer from back pain due to not getting a good rest during the confinement period, or because their waist is exposed to cold and other reasons. Some female friends have persistent back pain since pregnancy. Many reasons may cause women to have back pain during the confinement period. Below, the editor will introduce some common reasons that are more likely to cause back pain during the confinement period.

First of all, we need to understand the cause of postpartum low back pain. From the moment a woman becomes pregnant, the endocrine system of the entire body undergoes a very big change. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the fetus, the female body makes a great sacrifice. The ligaments connecting the pelvis must be relaxed so that a smooth delivery can be achieved. After delivery, the ligaments of the pelvis cannot recover quickly and remain in a relaxed state. Moreover, the abdominal muscles are also loose after delivery, which increases the burden on the waist and causes low back pain.

In fact, many women begin to experience back pain in the late stages of pregnancy. This is because the growing fetus causes pressure. So, the back pain continued after delivery. So how to relieve postpartum back pain? If it is a mild back pain, just pay attention to the correct posture. When holding a child, be careful not to let the child's weight press on the waist and back. It is best to follow the principle of "if you can stand, don't sit; if you can sit, don't lie down", because standing and sitting will keep the waist in the correct position and reduce pain.

So what should I do if I have severe back pain like the one I experienced? As mentioned before, it is caused by the relaxation of the lumbar ligaments. The best way is to maintain the correct posture and allow the lumbar ligaments to recover as soon as possible. The ligaments are collagen. Therefore, it is recommended that sisters supplement more protein-containing foods. If the food supplements are slow to take effect, then directly supplement with protein powder. Also, calcium should be supplemented at the same time. Because the mother and fetus consume a lot of calcium throughout the pregnancy, it will lead to calcium deficiency. Calcium supplementation can also relieve pain.

Female friends must ensure adequate rest time after giving birth, and try to keep their waists warm. When sleeping, they should choose a bed with a mattress of moderate hardness and softness. It is best to sleep on your back or side to reduce the weight on your waist. At the same time, try not to wear high heels too early after giving birth, which is also helpful in relieving back pain.
