What to do if symphysis pubis separates after childbirth

Postpartum pubic symphysis separation is a relatively common phenomenon. For friends who suffer from postpartum pubic symphysis separation, they really want to know the treatment method. So what should we do if we suffer from postpartum pubic symphysis separation? Next, this article will introduce the relevant treatment methods for postpartum pubic symphysis separation for your reference. Please see the detailed introduction below.

When women are pregnant, especially before giving birth, the pubic symphysis cartilage and ligaments and sacroiliac joints become loose due to the influence of endocrine factors. During childbirth, the pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joints on both sides separate slightly, causing the pelvis to expand temporarily, which is beneficial for the delivery of the fetus. In most cases, the secretion of progesterone returns to normal after delivery, and the relaxed ligaments and cartilage also return to normal. However, in a small number of mothers, due to excessive secretion of progesterone, the ligaments become overly relaxed, and the sacroiliac joints and pubic symphysis on both sides are prone to separation during delivery.

In addition, a variety of factors such as prolonged labor, excessively large fetus, improper force or incorrect posture during delivery, and cold in the lumbar and sacral region can cause an imbalance in the pelvic contraction force during or after delivery, which may cause slight dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, resulting in the pubic symphysis being unable to return to its normal position. If it fails to recover on its own after a period of time and the symptoms worsen, it will form postpartum symphysis pubis separation.

What should I do if pubic symphysis separation occurs after childbirth? For postpartum symphysis pubis separation, the most direct and effective method today is to use a professional pelvic correction belt, which is also the earliest non-traumatic physical recovery method recommended by European medicine. However, due to the great differences in materials, craftsmanship and quality, the effects are also very different, so you must be careful when choosing it.

1. Diamond form

The world's latest diamond structure combined with ergonomics design, triangular mechanics fixation, four-point hip adduction, stable, accurate, powerful, easy to use, is the most promising pelvic recovery product in the international obstetrics and gynecology community.

2. Belt style

The most common type on the market ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. Most of them are made of chemical fiber materials and have simple craftsmanship. The biggest problem is that they are difficult to fix on the protruding crotch and are very easy to move up and down, making it difficult to guarantee the effect.

3. Hip lift

The hip-lifting style is made of two ordinary cloth straps. When used, one is tied at the lower back and the other at the base of the hind legs. It looks good, but in fact it can neither lift the hips nor correct the pelvis. Instead, it will increase the burden on the lumbar spine and the force point is wrong.

The above is an introduction on what to do if pubic symphysis separation occurs after childbirth. From the above introduction, we can understand that there are many reasons for postpartum pubic symphysis separation. The treatment for postpartum pubic symphysis separation mainly uses a professional pelvic correction belt. As long as you use the correction belt that suits you correctly, the treatment effect is still quite good.
