Pain in the middle of the back after giving birth

The spine is made up of many different vertebrae, such as the cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and coccyx, all of which belong to the spine. Therefore, when you experience pain in your spine, it is more complicated to find the cause. After giving birth, women should pay special attention to their body recovery and replenish the nutrients needed by the body so that the body can recover better. But what is the reason for the pain in the spine in the middle of the back after giving birth?

What causes spinal pain during cesarean section?

1. Sequelae of anesthesia. The anesthesia during caesarean section is epidural anesthesia, which requires puncture in the waist. This puncture will cause certain damage to the muscles and ligaments of the waist and back, causing postpartum low back pain. A very small number of new mothers also have symptoms of nerve root damage and epidural hemorrhage after delivery.

2. Calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency in new mothers is also a cause of postpartum back pain. During pregnancy and delivery, pregnant women are relatively weak, and if they have to breastfeed after delivery, the loss of calcium in the body will be very serious, which can easily cause postpartum back pain.

3. Postpartum fatigue. As the saying goes, "Postpartum diseases can be cured by postpartum care." If postpartum back pain is not treated properly during the postpartum period, it will be a major health hazard for the mother. Many new mothers start to busy themselves with various housework and taking care of the baby after giving birth. If they overdraw their physical strength, their bodies will be overwhelmed. This will naturally cause back pain in the long run.

Precautions

Pay attention to keeping your waist warm. The body is very weak after childbirth, so the head and waist should be kept warm to avoid diseases caused by cold. After childbirth, you can try to exercise appropriately and walk backwards. Walking backwards can force the body's center of gravity to move backwards, exercise the waist muscles to relieve pain, and correct the symptoms of lumbar curvature and lumbar lordosis.
