How to remedy back pain during the postpartum period

Many mothers will feel abnormal pain in their waist during the confinement period. At this time, they must remember to do more exercise when they get up every morning. This can relax their muscles and improve the pain through exercise. However, they must be careful not to get nervous and reduce their fatigue.

1. When you wake up in the morning, the first thing you should do is to move your waist. After getting up every morning, the first thing to do is to move your waist. Doing more exercises to contract the abdominal muscles and stretch the lumbar muscles, as well as walking, walking backwards and riding a bicycle, can prevent and relieve back pain.

2. Learn to relax and reduce tension. Stress can increase the hormones in the blood, causing the lumbar disc to swell and lead to back pain, so arranging work and rest properly and maintaining a happy mood can greatly help prevent back pain.

3. Maintain correct posture. Whatever you do, don't go against your physiological functions. People who sit for long periods of time should sit with their backs close to the chair to allow their waist muscles to relax and rest. Stretching backwards from time to time is also a good way to prevent back pain.

4. Improve diet and avoid obesity. If you have become fat, you should implement scientific weight loss methods. Because obesity will put too much load on the spine, and at the same time, the abdominal muscles are relaxed and cannot support the spine, which will force the spine to deform.

Causes of low back pain during pregnancy

After a woman becomes pregnant, as the pregnancy progresses, the uterus slowly enlarges, the support force of the waist continues to increase, and the round ligament of the uterus relaxes due to long-term traction, causing the sacrospinous ligament to relax, compressing the pelvic nerves and blood vessels, causing many expectant mothers to feel back pain. This type of low back pain will generally disappear gradually as the waist muscle strength recovers after delivery.

The causes of low back pain in early, mid and late pregnancy are different. Low back pain in the early pregnancy stage will not be very serious, the pain is relatively mild, mostly low back pain. Low back pain during this period is often caused by the retroverted uterus, which compresses the rectum and ligaments, so pregnant mothers don't need to worry.

Symptoms of low back pain during pregnancy

1. The abdomen is heavy and the correct posture cannot be maintained, and the waist muscles are easily fatigued, causing low back pain. It is said that once people start walking on two legs, back pain is inevitable. What's more, a pregnant woman's belly feels like it has a heavy bag hanging on it, or rather, it is natural for her to have back pain.

2. Due to pregnancy, the hormone secretion in the human body changes. In order for the baby to pass smoothly through the birth canal during delivery after pregnancy, the human body secretes a hormone that relaxes the ligaments connecting the pelvis. This hormone also relaxes the muscles, increasing the curvature of the spine, making back pain more likely.

3. Lack of exercise causes a person’s basic physical strength to decline. When your physical strength decreases, you cannot maintain a normal posture and are prone to back pain.
