Causes of postpartum lumbar pain

During pregnancy, women will have many pregnancy reactions, which are a heavy burden on women's bodies. In particular, the waist and abdomen need to bear the weight of the child, and the squeezing and burden they receive are the most severe. Due to the nine-month compression, women's waist and abdomen have been damaged, so they will still feel lumbar pain even after giving birth. Of course, there are other reasons that can cause lumbar pain after giving birth.

1. Changes in the endocrine system: During pregnancy, the uterus gradually grows larger, so the waist has to bear more pressure, which compresses the pelvic blood vessels and nerves, leading to low back pain that continues until after delivery. After giving birth, the endocrine system in a woman's body undergoes major changes, and it is difficult to return to its original state quickly. When the pelvic ligaments are relaxed and weak, the muscles will also be very soft, which is more likely to cause postpartum back pain.

2. Taking care of the baby and bending over frequently: Women need to bend over frequently to take care of their children after giving birth, such as picking up the baby from the stroller, changing diapers, bathing the baby, etc.

3. Poor discharge of lochia: Lochia cannot be discharged smoothly, resulting in blood stasis in the mother's pelvic cavity, and it can easily cause low back pain in the mother after delivery.

4. Lack of activity: Many women rarely move after giving birth and often stay in bed, resulting in a lack of exercise for the waist. In addition, mothers eat more food after giving birth, which increases their weight and puts too much pressure on their waist, thus causing low back pain.

5. Postpartum rheumatism: Postpartum rheumatism is also one of the possible causes of low back pain. The invasion of dampness and cold after childbirth can easily cause blockage of meridians inside the body, blood flow obstruction and obstruction, thereby inducing low back pain in the mother.

6. Improper posture: Many new mothers have incorrect breastfeeding posture, so it is necessary to standardize the posture. Otherwise, it will easily cause the lumbar muscles to become tense, which may damage the lumbar muscles and cause postpartum back pain.

7. Uterine displacement: If the mother's uterus is displaced, the uterus will descend along the vagina, which can easily cause low back pain.

8. Overwork: Many new mothers do not pay attention to their rest after giving birth, which leads to excessive fatigue. In addition, long periods of standing, squatting, and tying the waist too tightly may cause back pain after childbirth.

9. Often wear high heels: Under normal circumstances, new mothers should avoid wearing shoes with heels, otherwise it will easily cause the center of gravity of the body to lean forward, indirectly affecting the waist and inducing waist pain.

10. Kidney damage: Excessive sexual intercourse after childbirth is likely to damage the kidney qi. Improper contraceptive measures may lead to multiple abortions, which may cause the mother to feel lower back pain after delivery.
