Is postpartum pelvic repair useful?

After giving birth, a woman's body will undergo certain changes to a greater or lesser extent. For example, the pelvis will become abnormal after childbirth. Pelvic abnormalities can also cause many health problems in women and even directly affect the life between couples. Therefore, it is more important to repair the pelvis after childbirth. Below, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about postpartum pelvic repair in detail!

1. Why do we need pelvic repair?

During pregnancy, the body begins to secrete a hormone called pubic relaxant. It is used on the pubic symphysis of the pelvis to gradually loosen the bones. It will make the pubic symphysis of the pelvis loose, and the ligaments and muscles will become loose, which will help open the bone joints during delivery. This is why doctors recommend large amounts of calcium supplements in the late pregnancy and after delivery. Some mothers would say, I had a caesarean section and the bone sutures were not opened. In fact, this is not the case. The body starts to secrete relaxin four weeks into pregnancy. The body doesn't care whether you have a natural birth or a cesarean section, it will start preparing for delivery! In the late pregnancy, the fetus has descended into the pelvis and the pubic symphysis has opened.

After giving birth, a woman's pelvis relaxes, which can cause noticeable changes in the body. The lower opening of the pelvis becomes wider, which makes the buttocks flat; the hip joints tilt inward, making the buttocks wider; the pelvis becomes loose and the waist is severely bent; the legs below the knees are twisted and become bow legs; the deformed pelvis makes the abdominal muscles loose and the bones become porous.

2. Consequences of non-closed pelvis

1. Pelvic floor muscles

The pelvic floor muscles are under a lot of pressure during pregnancy and are already very loose. If the pelvis supporting the pelvic floor muscles is not closed at this time, the pelvic floor muscles will inevitably become even looser. They support the uterus, ovaries, appendages, vagina, bladder, rectum and other organs in our pelvic cavity like a net bag. Relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles will inevitably cause vaginal relaxation and sagging, uterine prolapse, and relaxation of the bladder sphincter. This is why many mothers are prone to urinary incontinence and inability to hold urine after giving birth.

2. Gynecology

If the pelvis is not closed, it is easy to catch cold again, invade with dampness and cold, and cause repeated attacks of gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic effusion, etc. This is the fundamental reason why women are prone to gynecological inflammation after giving birth, which recurs repeatedly and cannot be cured.

3. Affecting the couple’s life

The pelvis is tightened by three centimeters and the vagina is tightened by one centimeter, so pelvic repair can also help improve the sensitivity of sexual life and is beneficial to family happiness. It not only improves physical health but also brings harmony to family and marital life.

4. Impact on health

The pelvis is located in the middle of our body and plays an important role in connecting the upper and lower parts. If the pubic symphysis is not closed and is in an open state, it is easy to cause dislocation. A slight dislocation can cause back pain and leg pain. Severe and long-term dislocation can also cause scoliosis. Some mothers are prone to sprains for several years after giving birth, all because of the lack of pelvic repair.
