Syndesmotic separation

Metatarsal syndesmosis refers to a break in the connection between the pelvis and the metatarsal bones. The pelvis is not connected together and is forced to stand together, which can cause pelvic pain. This condition mainly occurs during pregnancy. Due to endocrine changes and fetal development, the metatarsal bones and pelvis will begin to separate to accommodate the baby's living space. Under normal circumstances, it will not be particularly painful and will not affect the normal walking of pregnant women.

What is symphysis pubis separation?

First, let's understand what the pubic bone is. Don't you know?

You should know about the pelvis. Many mothers who give birth naturally will buy some correction belts to correct their pelvis. The pubic bone is located below the pelvis. It is easy to find it. Just press down just below the navel and the hard area is the pubic symphysis.

Normally, the pubic bones are tightly connected, but pubic symphysis separation means that two tightly connected bones are forcibly stretched apart. How can it not hurt?

During pregnancy, the expectant mother's endocrine system changes, causing the ligaments around the pubic symphysis to relax. At this time, even slight external force may cause the pubic symphysis to separate. Therefore, it is better for expectant mothers not to do things beyond their ability during pregnancy.

How to prevent it?

Pubic symphysis separation is a physiological need for the growth and development of the fetus. Most mothers can adapt to it and even feel no pain. Pubic pain is caused by excessive separation between the pubic bones, which causes pain.

Mothers who have pubic pain should know the feeling. In severe cases, the patient may not be able to walk normally or sleep well.

1. First of all, before getting pregnant, you should check if you have any problems, such as joint problems, and try to cure them before getting pregnant, especially certain joints of the pelvis.

2. Pay attention to diet and exercise during the pregnancy preparation period. If you are calcium deficient, you need to supplement calcium. This is very important.

3. Be careful in your daily behavior to avoid accidents.

4. Pay attention to prenatal checkups and understand the situation of pubic separation.

How to treat it?

First of all, it should be pointed out that the treatment of postpartum symphysis pubis separation may take a little longer. People often say that it takes 100 days for a broken bone to heal. After the bones are forcibly separated and then tightly connected, it may take even longer. It all varies from person to person.

1. The most commonly used method for postpartum treatment of symphysis pubis separation is to use a pelvic correction belt for physical fixation and correction.

2. There are also bad habits that need to be corrected. Don’t think that everything will be fine if you wear a correction belt. Bad posture can cause the pubic bone to be dislocated, which will be difficult to correct later.

3. Keep in a good mood. Moms should not do too intense exercise in order to regain their figure.

If mothers have pain in the pubic area, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Pubic symphysis separation is not exclusive to pregnancy. If you do not pay attention, this discomfort will accompany the mother for a long time.
