What is pelvic girdle pain?

Pelvic girdle pain mainly refers to pain occurring in the sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis, and related ligaments and muscles. The pain may radiate to the back of the thigh.

The red area is the common pain area

According to statistics, 56% to 72% of women will experience pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy and postpartum, and not all women's pelvic girdle pain can recover on its own.

Why does pelvic girdle pain occur?

Due to the increase in weight during pregnancy, the pelvic load-bearing burden increases, the abdomen is obviously protruding, and the overall biomechanics of pregnant women gradually changes to bear the growing abdomen; coupled with the changes in hormone secretion during pregnancy, the ligaments of the pelvic joints become loose to accommodate the needs of the fetus entering the pelvis. At this time, the sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis, pelvic floor muscles and other pelvic girdle areas are under great pressure at the same time. If the muscles in this area are weak or the force pattern is improper, it will cause pain in the pelvic girdle area.

What should I do if pain occurs?

Pay attention to rest and avoid overwork. If your body mass index is high, it is recommended to lose weight scientifically. In addition, it is more important to conduct scientific body assessment and professional body adjustment to restore the body to its best condition as soon as possible, rather than ignoring your discomfort and causing more and more problems!

The pelvic floor muscles contribute to the stability of the lumbar spine. They form back support by contracting together with the abdominal muscles, thereby reducing the load on the spine. Pelvic floor muscle training in professional medical institutions is performed by doctors through intrapelvic assessment, analysis of pelvic floor function, and then personalized treatment.

Pelvic floor muscle training can improve pelvic support and reduce the pressure on the pelvic ligaments to relieve pelvic girdle pain in postpartum women.

Friendly reminder

Different mothers experience different symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum. For pain in the pelvic girdle area, we must conduct a comprehensive assessment and analysis and use individualized treatment to relieve pain.
